• Skunkworks teams for innovation
  
  If you want to know more about this method you could read Coplien and Harrison's Skunkworks pattern and in their book, Organizational Patterns of Agile Software Development , 2005. (I have also discussed the technique in pattern form, Separate Imaginative Teams .) Hamel and Prahalad also noticed this technique in their Harvard Business Review article, Corporate Imagination and Expeditionary Marketing - May-June 1991. Continuing on the theme of innovation, there is another common technique used by companies to produce innovation. Often it used to develop

• Return from EuroPLoP 2005
  
  First , much to my surprise, I was award the 2005 Neil Harrison Shepherding Award . Next : there where several analysis patterns at the conference, including a couple in my workshop. Didi Schutz asked me: “Are Analysis Patterns really Patterns?” I think we all tend to accept I’ve just returned from the EuroPLoP conference in Germany. For those who’ve never been to a PLoP conference you don’t know what your missing - get along now! Anyone will do - except for the fact that I hear the original PLoP (outside of Chicago) has changed its atmosphere in the last

• Patterns and story telling
  
  Now to pick up one of my regular themes: Patterns. I think there is a link between Patterns (Alexander, Coplien, Vlissides, PLoPs, etc.) I intend to write more about his in future - probably in the prelude to some pattern paper, most likely for EuroPLoP 2006 but I’ll preview my reasoning here. Patterns are really stories. As I said last time I’ve been flying a lot, and that’s given me time to read. The book that I’ve been reading most is “Story Telling in Organizations: Why Storytelling is transforming 21st century organizations and management” by Larry Prusak,

• Getting ready for EuroPLoP
  
  It is the annual European Patterns Language Conference - otherwise known as EuroPLoP. The original PLoP conference still happens outside Chicago in September every year, and yes the name is deliberate - Pattern Languages of Programming but they chose something that sounded a little funny, thus “Plop.” The authors know the patterns best, my job is to help them with the “pattern” bit in such a way that they tease out a better pattern. Well it is time of year again. On Wednesday I’m off on my annual pilgrimage to Munich - or rather a town about 80km West

• Encapsulate Context becomes Encapsulated Context.
  
  The naming of patterns can be a tricky business. My first proper pattern, Encapsulate Context , didn't follow these rules. In fact, there was a lot of debate over the pattern name, if I remember rightly. Earlier this year, I submitted the pattern to the editors of the forthcoming patterns book Pattern Languages Of Program Design (Volume 5). There are all sorts of rules of thumb, one can use, for example: favour and nouns over verbs, tell the reader what to build and describe what you get rather than what you do . I originally called it a Program

• VikingPLoP
  
  This week is VikingPLoP – the Scandinavian patterns conference. For me there are two notable things about this PLoP and the patterns we’re reviewing. First VikingPLoP has a dedicated “Business patterns” stream. Business patterns have been around for a long time but they’ve been a real niche. Once again I’m sitting in the back of an Airbus writing. One of the nice things about flying – well travelling generally – is the long periods of just sitting around.

• More change
  
  This is a book of short pattern for introducing change. Second is a favourite of mine, “The Fifth Discipline: the art and practice of a learning organization” (Senge, 1990). Finally, “Making Sense of Change Management” (Cameron and Green, 2005). 2005 Making Sense of Change Management, Kogan Page, London. I’ve had my first comment on my Blog - bit of a thrill, it means someone is reading me! (Actually, Actually, this is not my first comment, my old friend Dave made a comment earlier-on of the “here you are kind” but this is my first serious comment.)
