Audience

The intended audience for Agile Coach Camp Worldwide is a diverse and global set of coaches, team facilitators, Scrum Masters, developers, trainers, and managers interested in taking a more coaching/servant leader approach in working with others. Each has their own reasons for attending, from simply wanting to network to enhancing their skills to exploring new ideas in the coaching world.

This is no different to the first Camp; what became a bit lost as Camps became more regional was the global aspect. The cross-cultural perspective of a wide set of attendees helps people identify new ideas and approaches. What are we as coaches assuming is true because of cultural biases?

Attendees do not need to be experts in coaching nor come with anything more than a question or challenge they may want to explore. Often these questions or challenges turn out to be some of the most powerful sessions as people explore answers to it and related topics. You are in control of your learning. Some attendees come as explorers to create new ideas, shoppers for techniques, or visitors to network: seeing old friends and making new ones. Thanks to the nature of Open Space, no one is ever a prisoner. (Borrowing from the ESVP retro technique’s terminology.)

Sometimes at Agile Coach Camps, others from related domains in academia and consulting will join us. They come trying to learn more about how we approach organizations asking for help and often have something valuable to share. Sociologists, designers/UX specialists, organizational design consultants, change management experts, and learning/educational game developers all have joined Camps prior, please feel free to extend an invite to them to join us if you know someone in the field.
