This year, I had the pleasure to facilitate the open space with my friend <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pablopernot\" target=\"_blank\">Pablo<\/a>. It was great and our experiments worked quite well.<br \/>\nExperiment One, as there&#8217;s people from all over Europe (and more) we asked them to demonstrate the babel opportunity by pitching their topics first in their mother tongue and then in English. This was amazing to see the difference in body language between the two pitches, and it was a lot more energizing and fun to hear some language your are not used to hear (not at all for some).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Open space in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ale15?src=hash\">#ale15<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Agile_Sebastian\">@Agile_Sebastian<\/a> look for ways to get girls in his team! <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/idDBozKsDa\">pic.twitter.com\/idDBozKsDa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Antonio de la Torre (@adelatorrefoss) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/adelatorrefoss\/status\/636883168897986562\">August 27, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Experiment Two, as we were around 180 people for the open space, we knew that there will be 12 groups (at minima) in parallel and we wanted all those groups to share their findings with the whole. We asked them to prepare a restitution of their work on a flip board paper, and to summarize it with a tweet with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23ale15\">#ale15 hashtag<\/a>. We organized 20 minutes global restitution after each of the 40 minutes sessions. It worked well, it was interesting and it helped for sure to improve the participation and the quality of the work done. You can see the result if you look for the #ale15 hashtag on Twitter.<br \/>\nExperiment Three, as we think with Pablo that one of the big benefit of the open space in enterprise was that the group has a common purpose, we tried to propose a common theme to the ALE15 Open Space&#8230; and it didn&#8217;t work at all&#8230; But we survive as it was a survivable experiment \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Big Thanks <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alexismonville\">@alexismonville<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pablopernot\">@pablopernot<\/a> for an awesome <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ale15?src=hash\">#ale15<\/a> open space.
