Key Network Insights

Central Hub Patterns

The most connected patterns that serve as integration points:

1. Small Team Bays (15+ connections) - Physical foundation for team autonomy
2. Psychological Safety Practices (12+ connections) - Cultural foundation across all categories
3. Transparent Artifacts (11+ connections) - Information flow enabler
4. Self-Governing Teams (10+ connections) - Organizational autonomy foundation

Cross-Category Bridges

Patterns that strongly connect different categories:

• Environmental Comfort Patterns → Bridges physical design with team wellbeing
• Daily Rituals → Connects timing patterns with organizational practices
• Display of Work → Links cross-disciplinary practices with organizational transparency
• Modular Furniture and Reconfigurability → Connects cross-disciplinary flexibility with spatial adaptability
