Seed Sessions

Power Transformance

The ALE18 "Open Space First" program provides just enough structure for you to spontaneously create the event when we come together 22-24 August. You'll create a program that fully explores your questions of power transformance.

We've cultivated a few 'seed sessions' to trickle through the open spaces in the program.  We're limiting the number of seed sessions to be sure we provide abundant space for everything that emerges.

Does Agile Culture Provide the Soil for Diversity?

Agile culture lays the basis for diversity. It carries many practices and behaviours that make work inclusive. However, we also observe agile teams or organisations that are not at all diverse.

Check your sensitivity to unconscious bias, compare diversity research findings between Jeff Sutherland and Iris Bohnen and develop experimental actions for iteratively creating diversity in your teams and organisations.
