CB.15:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Failure in practice	Repair
Begin with a broad partnership agreement while the shared work is unclear.	Find one contribution both sides can use and try it under a small commitment.
Use a common word as evidence of common practice.	Compare its meaning and consequence in each side’s actual case.
Resolve a resource conflict by rewriting terminology.	Return the real allocation or commitment question to its owner.
Fill a visit with presentations that could happen anywhere.	Arrange practitioner-guided access to the work and questions that need situated observation.
Treat visiting or understanding as being qualified to perform.	Obtain the separate learning, fit or professional result needed for later use.
Expand a successful pilot on the same unexamined volunteer effort.	Obtain provision for the new demand before promising the expanded service.
Let only the visitors receive the result.	Return useful observations, corrections and next decisions to the hosts too.
