Liberating Voices Pattern Links

Liberating Voices Pattern Language

The patterns that appear in the book and their respective authors are listed below. In addition to the 136 patterns, the book includes several chapters that discuss the motivation, theory, development and use of the patterns and the pattern language.
 

Theory

  
Theory is the most general level of the patterns in the language. In a broad way, the patterns in this section express the assumptions that we are making about the world and, most importantly, how we intend to engage in the world.

Civic Intelligence

 

      Douglas Schuler

The Commons

 

      David Bollier

The Good Life

 

      Gary Chapman
 

Organizing Principles

  
Organizing principles are less general than theory but are still quite abstract. They can motivate and inform any enterprise, yet they themselves are not corporeal, they are ideas that we can employ to orient our work in a meaningful way.
  
As we move forward, we realize that certain guidelines can be used to as help ensure that our work is purposeful.

Policy

  
Although largely invisible, policy nevertheless is a major force upon our lives. As a set of public rules, guidelines and programs, policy creates and demolishes barriers. Policy represents an arena of public affairs which, ironically enough, is often closed to the public.

Collaboration

  
How effective people are in their pursuits depends on how well they can work together. This realization motivates the patterns in this section and in the next. People and groups -- both informal and formal -- must actively engage with the world "outside" to achieve their goals. This, of course, can assume many forms from the purely cooperative to the openly combative.
  
Collaboration can often be better served when new ways of looking are employed.

Community and Organizational Building

  
A group is effective insofar as it integrates the insights, knowledge, skills, interests and resources of its members. Beyond this, a group must reflect on its own state, including its aims, methods of interpreting, decision-making, and planning and adjust its behavior accordingly. An effective group, moreover, must understand and adapt as well as shape the "environment" in which it finds itself.
  
Organizations must take part in collective learning.

Tactics

  
These patterns describe activities that can be particularly effective even if only applied sporadically. They are limited in space and time, yet they can focus attention, unite disparate efforts, and help create conditions for future collaborations. These patterns appear last but are not insignificant. Indeed one of our most important tasks is discovering more of these tasks.
  
Many of these tactics involve probing and engaging.
