Dave shared some battle-earned insights about working in a pattern-driven manner and creating pattern libraries. I love his thoughts on the topic, and since I’ve seen this play out in my own work I thought I’d share my own thoughts as well.
These are patterns that are universally useful. Although they are all useful, there is a priority to their usefulness. Start with the Phase I patterns first, and work to adopt the later phases after earlier phases are more or less mastered. This list of doctrine patterns can be used as a checklist to evaluate an organization, but simply ticking all the boxes won’t make an organization healthy. Each doctrine is a skill or habit, so the real goal is to train the organization to repeatedly use each skill.
