six such patterns that, held lightly, are worth encouraging: Commitment: When those with power or influence commit to moving beyond bureaucracy. Boundaries: When a liminal space is created and protected. Priming: When the invitation to think and work differently is offered. Looping: When change is decentralized and self-management begins. Criticality: When the system has tipped and there’s no going back. Continuity: When continuous participatory change is a way of life, and the organization is contributing to the broader community of practice.
