REFLECT

S0, WHAT IS COMMUNITY?
Designing Our Communities - ISA14 Keynote
COMMUNITY
A COMMUNITY IS A SOCIAL UNIT 
OF ANY SIZE THAT SHARES 
COMMON VALUES.
COMMUNITIES ARE THE SOCIAL 
INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORTING AND 
ENABLING HUMAN ACTION.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT CULTURE
WE MAKE CULTURE, BUT CULTURE 
MAKES US WHO WE ARE.
CULTURE IS: 
BEHAVIOR - WHAT PEOPLE DO 
KNOWLEDGE - WHAT PEOPLE KNOW 
ARTIFACTS - THINGS PEOPLE MAKE AND USE 
JAMES SPRADLEY
CULTURE IS SIMPLY WHAT GIVES MEANING TO 
ACTIONS, WHICH IT DOES BY PROVIDING A SENSE OF 
COHERENCE OR PATTERNING AND PREDICTABILITY. IT 
PROVIDES THE LENS THROUGH WHICH ONE INTERPRETS 
EVENTS, SCENES, AND ACTIONS. 
ROBERT GORDON
THE CONCEPT OF CULTURE…MAN IS AN ANIMAL 
SUSPENDED IN WEBS OF SIGNIFICANCE HE HIMSELF 
HAS SPUN, I TAKE CULTURE TO BE THOSE WEBS, AND 
THE ANALYSIS OF IT TO BE THEREFORE NOT AN 
EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCE IN SEARCH OF LAW BUT AN 
INTERPRETIVE ONE IN SEARCH OF MEANING. 
CLIFFORD GEERTZ
CULTURE IS A SYSTEM OF SHARED MEANINGS THAT IS 
BASED ON A SIGNIFYING ORDER, A COMPLEX SYSTEM 
OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SIGNS THAT COHERE IN 
PREDICTABLE WAYS INTO PATTERNS OF 
REPRESENTATION WHICH INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS 
CAN UTILIZE TO MAKE OR EXCHANGE MESSAGES. 
MARCEL DANESI
CULTURE IS INTERPRETIVE, AND GENERATIVE… 
CULTURE IS NOT TAXONOMIC. 
OUR COMMUNITIES ARE SITES OF CULTURAL PRODUCTION.
CULTURE INFLUENCES COGNITION… 
BOTH WHAT WE THINK AND WHAT 
WE DO.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT PROBLEM 
FINDING AS APPLIED TO COMMUNITIES.

PROBLEM 
SOLVERS 
PROBLEM 
FINDERS 
HOW DO I DO 
GOOD WORK? 
WHAT IS 
GOOD WORK?
AS STEWARDS OF OUR COMMUNITIES, 
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR US?
HOW DO WE CRAFT GOOD COMMUNITIES? 
WHAT IS A GOOD COMMUNITY?
ACTIVITY 
WHY DO YOU… 
…join or not? …stay in or leave? …lead or not?
SIX THEMES ABOUT COMMUNITIES 
1. passive → active 
2. be a facilitator 
3. events → community 
4. relationships and networks 
5. emergence 
6. soft work is hard
1. PASSIVE → ACTIVE
“WE TEND TO SIT BACK AND ALLOW 
THE HEROIC INNOVATIONS OF OTHERS 
TO JUSTIFY OUR OWN CREATIVE 
PASSIVITY.”

A NECESSARY DISCOURSE ON THE UNFINISHED DESIGN

CREATE YOUR OWN PATH AND 
MAKE THE WORLD YOU WANT 
TO LIVE IN!
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A FUTURE VISION
ACTIVITY 
WHAT IS YOUR FUTURE VISION?
VISUALIZE OUR FUTURE IDENTITIES 
Effort before Identity → Identity before Effort
2. COMMUNITIES NEED FACILITATORS, 
NOT JUST LEADERS.
BE A FACILITATOR, SPACE MAKER, 
PATH CLEARER, FRICTION REDUCER, 
AND AN ENABLER
SELL YOUR EXPERTISE AND YOU HAVE 
A LIMITED REPERTOIRE. SELL YOUR 
IGNORANCE AND YOU HAVE AN 
UNLIMITED REPERTOIRE. 
RSW on Charles Eames
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE AN EXPERT. 
BE AN EXPERIMENTER.
3. EVENTS → COMMUNITY
FIND YOUR TRIBE
FIND YOUR TRIBE … KEEP IT GOING
Designing Our Communities - ISA14 Keynote
4. BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND 
NETWORKS
THE NETWORK IS THE POWER, 
NOT THE NODE. 
Why Twitter Should Not Algorithmically Curate the Timeline https://medium.com/message/the-algorithm-giveth-but-it-also-taketh-b7efad92bc1f
“COMMUNITIES ARE MORE THAN THE 
SUM OF THEIR INSTITUTIONS AND 
INFRASTRUCTURES — THEY’RE THE SUM 
OF THEIR RELATIONSHIPS.” 
http://GIVE & TAKE PROJECT www.givetakeproject.com/
CREATE SPACES FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO 
CONNECT AND GROW.
FOSTER OPENNESS, PARTICIPATION, 
CONNECTION, AND OPPORTUNITIES 
FOR OTHERS.
PUT OTHER PEOPLE FIRST, BE HUMBLE, 
AND BE CURIOUS.
5. EMERGENCE

THERE’S NO QUICK FIX.

SIX GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR 
DESIGNING OUR COMMUNITIES 
1. Take an “active” role 
2. Be a facilitator for other’s success 
3. Drive beyond events to community 
4. Focus on relationships and networks 
5. Allow and support emergence 
6. Soft work is hard
WHAT YOU GIVE IS WHAT YOU GET, 
SO GIVE MORE THAN YOU TAKE.
