Takashi Ibaa, Masafumi Nagai, Tsuyoshi Ishida, “Open Dialogue as Coupling of Psychic, Social, and Creative Systems,” in the 7th International Conference on Collaborative Innovation Networks (COINs17), Detroit, USA, Sep., 2017
In this presentation, we study Open Dialogue, a psychiatric programme developed in Western Lapland of Finland, with the theory of autopoietic systems. The Open Dialogue approach was originally developed as a psychiatric programme; However, the initiators and we anticipate that the approach can be applied not only to psychotherapy but also educational and organizational situation as the way of collaborative problem dissolution, because it is based on philosophy of dialogism, which is not limited to psychotherapy. For understanding the applicability, we study the function of Open Dialogue in higher level of abstraction with concepts of systems theories: Social Systems Theory and Creative Systems Theory. Our consideration implies that Open Dialogue can be understood well with the framework of the combination among chain of consciousness in psychic system, chain of communication in social system, and chain of discovery in creative system.

Perhaps school taught you how to make a taxonomy or create a persona from research, but did it teach you how to ask for a raise? How to create consensus between your team, product and engineering? Or how to get the right design out in the face of the “just copy Amazon/Google/Netflix” argument?
Designers are taught the skills to make good design, but not the ones that will assure that design will go live. In this talk, I’ll cover key skills every UX practitioner should know.
The techniques I’ll each are based on a combination of Nonviolent Communication, John Kotter’s Buy In, FBI negotiation techniques, and from real life in the Silicon Valley.

How to get buy in
How to ask for what you need
While designers historically have shrunk away from selling, It’s not gross or ugly to ask for what you need to get the job done right. If designers want a place at the table, they will have to ask for it.

Lightning Talk by Takashi Iba, Ph.D. in media and governance, Professor at Faculty of Policy Management, Keio University.
at the30th Conference on Pattern Language of Programs (PLoP2023), IL, USA, Oct. 25, 2023
Originally, the concept of pattern language was proposed by Christopher Alexander as a method for collaborative architectural design, and the philosophy behind it was presented in his books, such as "The Timeless Way of Buildings" and "The Nature of Order". However, after him, few people discuss philosophical examinations for pattern languages. Over the past seven years, I have intensively explored the potential for a "new academic discipline" rooted in pattern language, and its foundational contours are now becoming visible. Underpinning this discipline is Edmund Husserl's phenomenology, especially his concept of "Science of Essence." Reflecting upon our experiences, it becomes apparent that the creation of a pattern language aligns with the phenomenological method of "seeing of essence," positioning the pattern language as "essence descriptions". When looked at in reverse, my developing academic field of "Studies on Essence of Practices," is "Science of Essence" of practices grounded in phenomenology and the creation of pattern language is positioned as a primary research methodology including “seeing of essence”. In this talk, I will elucidate what exactly is being accomplished through the creation of a pattern language, with introducing the principles of phenomenology’s "Noesis" (acts of consciousness) and "Noema" (contents of consciousness) and the method of “seeing of essence”.
Exploring New Ways of Expressing and Delivering Pattern Languages: Endeavors ...Takashi Iba
Lightning Talk by Takashi Iba, Ph.D. in media and governance, Professor at Faculty of Policy Management, Keio University.
at the30th Conference on Pattern Language of Programs (PLoP2023), IL, USA, Oct. 25, 2023
In pattern languages of practices, the target readers are not limited to engineers or professionals. Instead, they span a broad spectrum of the general public, from children to the elderly. For example, our pattern languages of practices cover topics such as reading, learning, parenting while working, living naturally and creatively, living well with dementia, and realizing a good digital society. The intended audience for these patterns ranges from elementary school students to college students, parents in their child-rearing years, and the elderly aged 70 and above. Believing that we needed to go beyond traditional methods of delivering content, such as dense texts and diagrams in books, articles, or websites, we have sought new modes of expression over the past decade. In this talk, I will introduce our endeavors. They include "Pattern Cards" that facilitate reflection and dialogue, especially in workshops; "Pattern Objects" that embed pattern names and illustrations into everyday items; "Pattern Coins" that circulate within a community, inspiring practice; "Pattern Song" that weaves the important messages of patterns into lyrics; and "Pattern Manga" that tells a story expressing the effect of conducting certain patterns. By showcasing these new prototypes, I hope to inspire you and expand your horizons on how pattern languages can be expressed and delivered.
New Frontiers in Pattern Languages of Practices (Takashi Iba, PLoP2023)Takashi Iba
Lightning Talk by Takashi Iba, Ph.D. in media and governance, Professor at Faculty of Policy Management, Keio University.
at the30th Conference on Pattern Language of Programs (PLoP2023), IL, USA, Oct. 25, 2023
In this talk, I will present the new frontiers in pattern languages of practices. Historically, the concept of pattern languages originated in the 1970s as a design language for "Places" and was later applied to the domain of "Programs." Subsequently, it found applications in areas like education and organizational change, which can be considered as "Practices." In other words, the pattern language has evolved from Places, to Programs, and then to Practices. In the course of the development, we, Iba Lab and CreativeShift, Inc., have developed patterns across various fields within pattern languages of practices, writing over 3,000 patterns in more than 90 areas of practices over the past 20 years. Reflecting on our journey, we have identified five types within what is broadly labeled as "Practices": (1) Profession and Work, (2) Meta-Pattern Language, (3) Everyday Life, (4) Journey of Life, and (5) Forming Society. This talk will particularly focus on the last three types of pattern languages of practices — Everyday Life, Journey of Life, and Forming Society. We will share our own cases and experiences, including a pattern language for a good digital society, which was recently published by the Digital Agency of the Japanese Government.

"Wholeness Egg: Designing a Living Workshop in light of Christopher Alexander...Takashi Iba
Konomi Munakata, Takashi Iba, "Wholeness Egg: Designing a Living Workshop in light of Christopher Alexander’s Design Theory", PUARL 2018 conference, Portland, USA, Oct. 2018
---
This workshop introduces “Wholeness Egg” as an effective technique for designing “living” workshops. When designing a workshop, we are likely to set a specific goal, list up all the essential elements first and then simply integrate them together to make a program, to ensure that it can achieve the expected results. However, when it is designed and implemented just for pursuing the planners’ intended purpose, it is likely to fail in stimulating participants’ creative thinking and gaining “liveliness” in it. The feeling of “life” in design may sound very intuitive, and thus many people think that it is not something they can or should deal with when designing things or activities. But that is what the Austrian architect, Christopher Alexander has strengthened in his books about the beauty of buildings, “The Timeless Way of Building (1979)” and “The Nature of Order: An Essay of the Art of Building and the Nature of the Universe (2002)” after 27 years of research. He said, “All our work has to do with the creation of life and that the task, in any particular project, is to make the building (design) come to life as much as possible” (Alexander, 1979). Those two books explained what gives life, beauty and true functionality to our buildings and what must be done to create more life in our world. Taking his design theory to heart, how can we design a good workshop which is truly alive?
This method was therefore developed based on the Christopher Alexander’s ideas of “the whole and parts” and “Fifteen Fundamental Geometrical Properties (Alexander, 2002)” described in his publications. This method is named “Wholeness Egg”, as it puts significant emphasis on the “wholeness” of a design. In particular, it aims to design the activity by grasping its wholeness first and subsequently differentiating it into parts (Fig.1), taking account of “Fifteen Fundamental Properties (Alexander, 2002)” to ensure the coherence and quality of the entire activity. In this workshop, participants can experience the technique of the Wholeness Egg in designing their own workshops, and will become able to apply this methodology in designing own creative activities.

Takashi Iba, Konomi Munakata, “Christopher Alexander’s Thought and Eastern Philosophy: Zen, Mindfulness and Egoless Creation with a Pattern Language”, PUARL 2018 conference, Portland, USA, Oct. 2018
We present that in order to realize “the process of creation of its own accord” put forward by Christopher Alexander, participation as ‘pure experience’ without thinking and analysis is necessary. This is a paradoxical but unique viewpoint; Alexander propose to create a ‘language’ (which is a tool for thinking) to share and follow spontaneous rules for generative process in Pure Experience. In this talk, we took up quotes of Christopher Alexander, Japanese Philosopher Kitaro Nishida, Ven. Ryodo Yamashita in Buddhism 3.0, and Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.

Pattern Language
Pattern language is a set of vocabulary that captures recurring
patterns of practical knowledge of design in a certain domain.
Each pattern explicitly describes a recurring problem-solution pair
from the domain. This information is each given a memorable name
so the until-then-tacit knowledge become explicit and referable.

7. 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.
Takashi Iba is an associate professor at the Faculty of Policy

30. Process to discover deep-level connections
between the mined information.
Clustering (KJ-Method)
31. KJ-Method
• Method for created by Japanese Anthropologist
Kawakita, Jiro (hence the name)
• NOT a process of categorization (into existing
categories), but rather a bottom-up process of
discovering new categories of classifying information
• Based on the anthropological philosophy of not bringing
in existing concepts from your culture, but rather
discovering cultural concepts through pure observation.
“It is not sufficient for people to know about the KJ method
intellectually, it is only fully understood when it is experienced”
- Jiro Kawakita
32. Starting from Chaos Hidden Meanings One to One Comparison
Talking while Moving Doubting Clusters Discovering the Islands
Excerpts from Pattern Mining Patterns
33. Drawing a Map
Excerpts from Pattern Mining Patterns
Throughout the KJ method,
you are mapping out the
elements by their meanings:
the physical distance between
two ideas should represent
their closeness in meaning
34. Starting from Chaos
The KJ-method is a slow
process: resist the urge to
introduce categories, axes, etc
for a quick solution. Observe
as order emerge throughout
the process.
Excerpts from Pattern Mining Patterns
35. One to One Comparison
elements must be considered
on a one-to-one relationship:
potential categories shall not
be thought of.
Excerpts from Pattern Mining Patterns
36. Talking while Moving
The KJ method is a
collaborative process: always
consult with your group
members when you think an
element should be moved.
Excerpts from Pattern Mining Patterns
37. Hidden Meanings
Be aware of the two possible
results when grouping patterns:
Grouping them could either a)
abstract the idea to blur its
meaning, or b) strengthen e/o by
highlighting aspects that may be
hidden as a single idea
Excerpts from Pattern Mining Patterns
38. Discovering Islands
Once you have the feeling that
all of the elements are “in the
correct place,” lightly circle
around each cluster to cut out
potential groupings for patterns.
Excerpts from Pattern Mining Patterns
39. Doubting Clusters
Once clusters start to formate,
take the chance to reconsider
each of the groups: some
groups may convey their
message when broken up into
smaller clusters. Do not be afraid
to reorganize already-formed
clusters.
Excerpts from Pattern Mining Patterns
40. KJ-Method: an example from the Project Design Patterns
You want to know what your customers are looking for
through your services.
In this context:
You make assumptions and think you know your
customers without actually understanding the customer
experience. As a project designer, it is difficult to imagine how your customers feel
about your service(s). You could survey your customers to see what their expectations
and demands are, but customers do not always know what they want. Even if they do
provide you with some insight, it is difficult to determine what type of circumstances led to
these customer experiences. As a result, you may overlook the real problems/concerns
that customers have and make false assumptions.
Therefore:
Experience your own service by paying for it with your
own money and see what types of problems/
inconveniences you encounter as a customer. Instead, of
estimating/guessing the customer’s feelings through surveys and your imagination,
experience your service the way they do, and see for yourself how your customers feel.
For instance, if you are running a hotel business, you can get a real sense of what a
customer experiences by paying for a room and staying at the hotel as a guest. This will
also help you determine what parts of the service(s) you found unpleasant.
As a result:
You will be able to provide better service by experiencing the problems (and possible
changes in your service) firsthand and reflecting on them in your project. You will also
begin to have a keen sense of your customers’ needs, especially if you deepen your
understanding of your customers. Needless to say, it is also important to listen to other
customers’ voices and reflect their opinions in your project.
Become a Real Customer
Some aspects are only visible when you pay
