Pedagogical Patterns & Fearless Change Patterns
A Creative Collaboration creates new values that can change the
world. In a Creative Collaboration, an emergent vigor is
produced where team members motivate each other and grow
together. This new vigor cannot be attributed to any one team
member but to the team as a whole. How can such a Creative
Collaboration be achieved? The secrets are scribed in this book.
Collaboration Patterns presents 34 distinct patterns that show
tips, methods, and views for a successful collaboration.
The Collaboration Patterns are written as a pattern language that
summarizes the design knowledge that develops from a person’s
experience into the form of a pattern. It pairs a problem that
occurs in a certain context of a design with its solution and gives
it a name. The users of a pattern language must select a pattern
on the basis of the context in which it is being used, and fit the
abstract solution to their specific situation.
The Collaboration Patterns here are in a pattern language that
helps a team achieve a Creative Collaboration. Along with
discovering ways to practice effective teamwork, we hope you
can also imagine the possibilities pattern languages offer. Read
through the pages and use any or all of the Collaboration
Patterns to make your collaborative projects successful.

Objects• Pattern objects are objects that express patterns to
help us recall the right pattern for the right situation.
• Pattern users should first read a written pattern, and then place a pattern object that embodies the pattern at a place where the desired action may take place.
• The pattern object will then function as a trigger for people to recall and use the suitable pattern when they need it.

5 Pattern Object Prototypes
Pattern Object #1 - Cutting Board
Uniform Bites
You are making a dish that has lots of ingredients.
▼In this context
A dish that uses many ingredients tends to lack uniformity. Especially if the different ingredients are cut in varying sizes, they will be cooked and flavored unevenly. Furthermore, the bigger pieces of ingredients may overpower the smaller pieces.
▼Therefore
Create a uniform texture by cutting your ingredients in the same size. For instance, if you are making something with several ingredients, such as fried rice, cut the vegetables and the meats in uniform pieces. Or, if you are making sauces and dips, such as salsa, you’ll also want to mince or chop the ingredients evenly, so that the texture is consistent.
▼As a result
By cutting in uniform sizes, the ingredients will be cooked evenly, and the flavor will be evenly soaked up. Having even pieces of ingredients also means that all of the ingredients will mix nicely in every bite.
Uniform BitesControl texture by the way you cut

The Storytelling (4) that conveys your Main Message (1) is decided, and now you are making your presentation.
▼ In this context
To avoid using dull or overused expressions you are tempted to use unfamiliar words, which may be difficult for your audience to understand.
• It is difficult to express your thoughts precisely using words.• Thought out sentences are often understandable to you because you wrote them.
▼ Therefore
Look for words and expressions that both you and your audience and attractive.
Search for words with attractive expressions from books or websites to make your presentation better. Ensure, however, that these expressions are also attractive for your audience. If you are not sure, ask a person who is similar to your target audience.
▼ Consequently
Using words that are attractive, easily accepted, and easily understood, your audience will easily understand your presentation. You too can develop a richer vocabulary and brush up your word choice skills.
The First-Draft-Halfway-PointPrepare an initial draft to clarify your understanding,

You are writing your ideas to share them with others.
▼ In this context
The initial draft is not suitable to be read by others.
• Writing helps organize and deepen your thoughts.• Writing tends to reflect the thinking process.• It is not until your paper is written that you can grasp the whole.
▼ Therefore
After finishing an initial draft, improve it objectively, considering whether readers will easily understand.
Thoroughly check if it is clear, concise, and structured logically. Furthermore, considering both sentence and chapter structure will help you alter content more precisely. Occasionally, don’t hesitate to discard sections if they are inappropriate. Thereafter, read it from the beginning and determine if readers will understand it. The level of description and definition of terms depends on your target audience. Then, ask others to read it, and get as much feedback as possible. Finally, listen to the rhythm of words, ow of sounds, and check for correct punctuation. By reading aloud, you can more easily recognize errors and inconsistencies. Also, proofread many times for typographical errors.

Both logic and intuition are necessary for creative thinking.
No.23
Takashi Iba with Iba Laboratory, Learning Patterns: A Pattern Language for Creative Learning, CreativeShift Lab, 2014
You are creating an output, and you’ve made some progress.
▼ In this context
Logical thinking is not sufficient to achieve a breakthrough without intuitive thinking and vice versa.
• Logical thinking promotes acute analysis, inference, and persuasion. • Intuitive thinking inspires good ideas, expressions, and impression. • It is dif cult to be logical and intuitive simultaneously.
▼ Therefore
Switch between the two modes of logical and intuitive thinking.
If you begin to think logically, deliberate as logically as possible. If you begin to think intuitively, exercise imagination as intuitively as possi- ble. Switch thinking modes when you reach a dead end. If you have thought logically, modify to more attractive expressions. For example, when you are writing, draw pictures of what you want to express in words. In contrast, if you have thought intuitively, modify to achieve greater coherence. For example, when you come up with a new idea, think of the logic behind it. By switching thinking modes, you can nd new perspectives.

You have an idea you want to share with your teammates.
▼ In this context
The newer the idea is, the more people will not understand it.
• People cannot read others’ minds.• It is hard to imagine something that does not exist. • Words are limited.
▼ Therefore
Visually shape your idea, so others can see it while you explain it.
Draw a rough sketch or make a simple prototype that visualizes your idea so both you and others can see it. While creating the visualization, work out the details of the parts that were unclear in your head.
▼ Consequently
The ideas you have will be shared with the team. These visualizations will become Spadework for Creativity (23), and give new ideas to other members. Thus, you can easily become an Inside Innovator (20) in the team. Also by visualizing and explaining it to someone else, you can gain a better understanding about the idea.

You increasingly need the help of other people to do things for you.
▼ In this context
If you start to think you shouldn’t do something on your own and should have every- thing done by others, you will start to become unable to do even the tasks that you can do now. You might be worried about whether you can still do a task in the same way that you used to. On top of that, your family may offer to do everything for you out of concern. However, if you accept having everything done for you, your brain will receive less stimulation, and your symptoms may progress more rapidly.
▼ Therefore
Talk with your family and create a chore that you can do by yourself every day. It can be simple tasks such as watering a plant and giving the pet dog his food. Tasks such as folding the laundry and making coffee for the family... anything similar to this is important. Reference your “Can-Do List” to look for chores that you can do.
▼ Consequently
You can actively engage in the actions around your life. The chores will create a steady rhythm in your day, making it easier for you to maintain control over your life. The chores would also become a good starting point to have conversations with your family.

No.8 Now that the interior living spaces are safer after adhering to the instruc- tions in (2) SAFE SLEEP ZONE, (3) STORAGE AREA, (4) DOOR SPACE, (5) REVERSE L-SHAPE LOCK, (6) BITING LOCK, and (7) ROOTS OF TV, in the event of a large earthquake, it is important to have some food and water set aside for such an emergency.
◆ ◆ ◆
It is normal to see people stock up on some food and water just after a large earthquake. As time passes, so does the sense of impending danger and people forget about maintaining emergency stocks.
Just after a large earthquake, many people stock up on food and water out of a sense of fear. For example, immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, many people were hoarding bottled water in the metropolitan area. According to the National Health and Nutrition Survey of 2011, more than 50% of the population in the Kanto region and more than 60% of the population in the Tokai region have prepared emergency supplies of food and water in the event of another large earthquake. However, in Kyushu and Chugoku, the impact of the earth- quake was less severe and only 30% of the population in this region had stocked emergency food and water supplies.
Therefore:
Buy food with longer expiration dates such as canned and retort food. Buy foods that suit your personal preferences. But instead of buying only one bottle of water, buy a dozen so that you begin to have an emergency supply of clean drinking water, which is critical to survival.
◆ ◆ ◆
• To avoid waste, check expiration dates on things in emergency sup- plies and consume any extra stock before it is out of date. If you con- sume all items, buy extra the next time you shop and replenish your supply to maintain a stockpile that is always within its expiration date. See (9) DAILY USE OF RESERVES.
• One important addition to your emergency supplies is the life claw bar. Purchase one or more of these tools soon as they are very useful in large earthquakes. See (10) CROWBAR.

DAILY USE OF RESERVES
No.9You have food and water for emergency purposes.
◆ ◆ ◆
You conscientiously buy and stock food and water for emergency purposes, but these emergency supplies can expire before an emer- gency actually arises.
Because large earthquakes are uncommon, we cannot predict them. The next one may be tomorrow or the next one may not happen in your lifetime. Keeping supplies only for emergency purposes can cause waste if you never consume them unless a disaster occurs. If you have maintained extra stock of food and water in the store room and have forgotten to check the expiration date, these would be wasted in vain. Memorizing the expiration date of all items you have purchased and repurchasing every item that has exceed the expiry date are dif cult. Furthermore, repurchasing costs a lot of money each time. We are de - nitely not positive attitude.
Therefore:
Use (8) EXTRASTOCK just as you use normal supplies. If you buy what you want or what you like, it is easy to consume it appropri- ately and still maintain your emergency supplies. For example, if you have three cases of water on hand and consume one case, you still have two cases left. The next time you go shopping, buy just one case of water so you will always have at least two cases of water available at any time.
◆ ◆ ◆
• It is extremely important to stock food and water. Hunger can be put up with for a little while; however, clean drinking water is extremely essential for survival. Often after a quake, water service is interrupted and toilets do not work properly. To address the issue of sanitation, you can easily create a make-shift toilet after a large earthquake using a big vinyl bag. See (18) VINYL LAVATORY.
