Sat, 23 Jul 2005A chapter; Another talk; The learning patterns Ade and I are in the process of writing Walking the Long Road, our first chapter (not the first chapter in the book, but the first one we've written). There is still more to be done on it, but I wanted to get it out to get some eyeballs on it. Any feedback is welcome. Feel free to use the commenting system on the individual pattern pages.Yesterday I spoke about the patterns, this time at an internal event at ThoughtWorks. I was more nervous about this talk than the one in Atlanta (ThoughtWorkers can be a tough audience). But again, it was a positive experience. People felt free to offer suggestions, share opinions, and point out missing patterns. By the end I was exhausted, but encouraged by the participation and excited by what I'd learned from my colleagues. We have pushed out a number of PERPETUAL LEARNING patterns lately as we shift our focus in that direction. These latest patterns include Breakable Toys, ExposeYourIgnorance, Record What You Learn, and Share What You Learn. |
