| | Guiding Principles Description Guiding principles can state rules, laws, axioms, philosophies, ethical stances, or standards for conduct. For a reflective community that is developing a system of knowledge, these principles will most often be used to state beliefs or assumptions about what constitutes right action or conduct in using this new knowledge in the field. Example The Berkana Institute used a set of guiding principles to inform decisions regarding the development of NewWorkSpaces social processes and collaborative technology. These principles state what Berkana believes to be true about communities of practice, and how those beliefs should be expressed in any products and services it develops: NewWorkSpaces Guiding Principles These principles reflect what the NewWorkSpaces design team believes to be true about creating healthy, well-functioning, reflective communities of practice in which leaders can successfully connect, inquire, learn and communicate. These principlesare appropriate for virtual communities as well as in-person communities. Self-organizing. Reflective communities of practice cannot be mandated, but instead arise from people’s recognition that they are engaged in similar work, and that if they exchange ideas and information, they all will benefit and be able to contribute to each other’s growth. Self-organization starts with a shared interest or passion that draws people together. People then are free to determine which organizing structures and processes work best for their community as it engages in its work. Shared purpose and on-going learning replace fixed structures and controls as the means to create order and effectiveness. Clear identity. Every self-organized community needs to determine who it is, its unique identity. Identity includes its purpose, values, agreements of how people work together, and expectations of behaviors and norms. This first step is essential in self-organizing systems and precedes all other work. NewWorkSpaces will provide processes for guiding communities through this formative step. Relationship-centered. Learning in community is a choice that begins with developing relationships of openness, understanding, trust, and accountability. Based on these relationships, all members of the community become mutually responsible for co-creating and contributing to the learning of the whole. NewWorkSpaces will provide an environment in which members can engage fully with one another as they work together, offering multiple processes for high-involvement collaboration. Expansive and inclusive. Communities stay healthy and learningful as they continue to include new and diverse members. New perspectives always help change those with entrenched positions. Whenever a group or community is stuck or becoming too inwardly focused, the solution is to bring in new voices from those that haven’t been included in the past. NewWorkSpaces will incorporate different processes and reminders for keeping community boundaries permeable without losing their identity. Open. Communities thrive on open information and easy access to members. Behaviors such as secrecy, hoarding or protecting information, cliques, and elite status, destroy community. NewWorkSpaces' fundamental architecture will facilitate easy sharing of information and the ability to connect to people across time and distance. Information-rich. Successful community learning environments are information-rich. Any on-line environment must include and invite contributions of real substance, and use methods that facilitate and sustain active inquiry and participation. NewWorkSpaces will offer the processes and tools for accessing, creating, storing, managing and distributing knowledge through a variety of means and media, including journals, notebooks, references, records, resources and the like. Application-oriented. Communities of practice create and grow new knowledge through experimentation with their real work. The community works together to practice and refine new designs and methods. NewWorkSpaces will provide an array of processes that support such experimentation and development. In addition, communities will be able to make their learnings visible to other communities and the broader world. People will have available a number of ways to engage with other members, other communities of practice, and the larger world around the issues and practices that most concern them. Reflective. Reflection is absolutely essential to bring about both individual and societal learning. NewWorkSpaces will offer processes and tools that encourage frequent reflection in a number of areas: individual learning; new practices and experiments carried out at work; conditions for successful community; use of the online environment; strategies for influencing the larger world. These reflective practices not only are critical to creating new knowledge that works, they also strengthen relationships in the online environment. NewWorkSpaces, given its intention to influence the development of new knowledge and practice, will vigorously encourage its members to discipline themselves to reflect, a process sorely missing in most lives. Iterative. It takes time and practice to discover what works. Members of communities of practice must be willing to engage with one another over time, feeding the results of their learning back into the community, repeating processes and behaviors until new patterns develop. NewWorkSpaces is designed to continually deepen the discovery and sharing of new knowledge by providing the processes and tools for action, feedback, and reflection. | |
