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

...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<br>

Will you tell me more about your interest in pattern
languages for use in OST? Your question instantly made me
think of the Group Works deck that Chris recommended as
well. It's a great set of patterns for working with
groups. A few weeks ago Tricia Chirumbole and I actually
used this card deck on the absolutely wonderful Open Space
Hotline she hosts on Tuesdays. We looked at what is needed
on the Open Space List. I actually picked it at random -
and I think it's quite a funny *joke* what the Universe
revealed at 'random' back in September.<br>
<br>
<b>Embrace Dissonance and Difference</b><br>
<br>
<i>Encourage your group to honour contradictory
viewpoints, sitting with the uncertainty and ambiguity
this brings. Acknowledge all perspectives as equally
valid and explore them fully as needed, especially when
tensions are high and agreement seems far away.</i><br>
<br>
Even funnier - we wondered what would happen after this
embracing process were completed. This is what came up at
random.<br>
<br>
<b>Playfulness</b><br>
<br>
<i>Invite light-hearted and high spirited interaction to
exercise mind, senses, imagination, and body, to
engender creativity, and deepen relationships.
Playfulness may be evoked through structured but fun
ways to engage relevant topics, or restorative breaks
that allow laughter free reign, or may simply show up as
humour.</i><br>
<br>
But I think I'm letting the topics on the OSList start to
bleed together. Please do tell us more about your thoughts
of how a pattern language could help with Open Space? I'm
quite interested. Pattern language has made a huge
difference in the sphere of software development, and it's
how I learned about the work of Christopher Alexander who
first came up with this concept for architecture.<br>
