Ever wondered why Design Patterns didn't take off? Did you ever wonder how they became so all-pervasive but also so empty and soulless? Those were the sparking thoughts behind this book. It's taken four years of research and way too much of my spare time. Go check out Unresolved Forces: https://www.unresolvedforces.com/

@fabs @ekuber did you include the bit about Josh's Design Patterns study groups?

"I am often compelled to ask these individuals if they actually believe that the book can be 'read' rather than 'studied'?"

-- Joshua Kerievsky

He created a lovely pattern language for running good study groups, called "Knowledge Hydrant" or (later?) "Pools of Insight"'

Here's a magical question to ask when someone says 'I don't know'. Why does it (sometimes) work? I don't know!

There's a crucial phase in Virginia Satir's model of change that people often overlook. Successful change requires integration and practice.

Liberating Structures include many useful ways to improve meetings. But one of the "simplest" offered — "1-2-4-all" — has a big problem.

Did you know:
you can pin a hashtag, and view it as a list/timeline?

Ex:
#giftArticle , or
#facilitation

Then, you can tweak the list with the advanced options, to refine the search and add/exclude other hashtags in the same list! See the attached image here. #mastodon #search #fediTips

While facilitating, I try to remember that we are all different. Though this is challenging work, it engenders rich rewards.

When it comes to meetings, I am told that among my management peers, I have the reputation of having a structure fetish. I insist on an agenda and notes for every meeting (except confidential one-on-ones), and on cross-references to existing documentation, applicable issues tracked in an issue tracker, or wiki pages.

Your thoughts?

@PragmTeams@social.tchncs.de avatar

@xahteiwi All of them ;-)

It is a tragedy that each and every of people goes by the umbrella term of "" now.

There is a huge number of formats we can pick the most suitable from, depending on the intended . They're requiring different amounts of .

I'd rather widen my skills than bash the "meeting" straw man.

"How old are you?" can be an awkward question. Here are safe ways for a group of meeting participants to share their "age".

Why aren't unconferences more popular?

"Reason #6: The “unconference track” trap Some event stakeholders make the well-intentioned but disastrous mistake of adding an unconference track to their traditional conference.
It’s the biggest unconference mistake you can make.
Most attendees don’t know what an unconference is or have had a bad experience at a poorly designed event."

Sad. A missed opportunity.
