Miki Saxon of Leadership Turn writes about infrastructure building blocks . She’s using her own terminology for what we refer to as Shared Values and Teachable Behaviors, and it’s an excellent article on the subject. She separates them into Philosophy, Attitudes and Policies.
The Philosophy of a group would be similar to our shared values. A couple of her examples are Fairness and Open Communications. Attitudes & Styles, on the other hand, would be more similar to our Teachable Behaviors.
Policies are something we haven’t really touched on in a Swarm. Most swarms likely won’t have them. But when we talk about Roles & Responsibilities, or specific people having specific authorities (e.g. funds disbursement authority, where some centralized pool of funds is held), then a Policy is necessary.
In a later article, Miki goes on to detail the difference between processes and bureacracies, and warn against their calcification. This is also an important reminder.
