[OSList] Patterns of OST - to whom is this of interest?

Hi John,

Regarding the conversion of "tacit" know-how to "explicit" know-how, I 
find the works of Michael Herman and Chris Corrigan to be very useful 
resources, and fine examples of tacit-to-explicit knowledge conversion 
and creation.

And so, I often recommend these works to those who are implementing Open 
Agile Adoption in their workplaces.

The Inviting Guide by Michael Herman

The Tao of Holding Space by Chris Corrigan

...this one is useful, and not an easy read. Nonaka was one of the 
people who most influenced Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber during the 
creation of Scrum. Scrum gets its name from a Nonaka co-authored paper 
that appeared in The Harvard Business Review
