Do Food

The Do Food pattern is part of a collection of patterns for introducing new ideas into an organization. You've probably seen the pattern in your own life: When you want to get a group of people together for some purpose, you “do food.” You can have people bring their own, or you can provide the food, but the basic point is the same: The way to recruit a group of people is to make food available at the meeting.

Do Food is from Fearless Change: Patterns for Introducing New Ideas, by Mary Lynn Manns and Linda Rising (Addison-Wesley).
