Abstract
On Friday 9th April 2021, I attended my first conference with the Routine Dynamics research community. As an interested newcomer to this scene, the event inspired some personal reflections for my own work. To go beyond these personal benefits though, I was also inspired to share the new thinking and wider research directions from this research encounter, with our Exchanges readership. The emerging thoughts and practices from the Routines Dynamics community seems to be a welcoming and inclusive oasis, in the latticework of ideas being developed across our natural, social, and humanities worlds of scholarship. What follows is my attempt to make a little difference to the work of colleagues, in sharing the impact of this intellectual encounter for a wider audience. In reflecting on the events of this conference, I was guided by Johnson (2018)’s suggestions for possible structure and content for this type of article (as distinct and different from original empirical contributions).

As developing scientists and scholars, we are intrigued by new ideas, technologies, or practices with the potential to fruitfully change our minds
What I found in this introduction to the Routine Dynamics (RD) research community, seemed worth sharing
Because this critical reflection is limited to an initial taster of developing ideas from the Routine Dynamics community, the reader may benefit from more in-depth reviews of emerging intentionality (Dittrich & Seidl 2018), complexity (Hærem et al 2021), design issues (Wegener & Glaser, 2021), and the interplay between spaces for reflection and experimentation (Bucher & Langley 2016) in routine dynamics, to complement my later reading of RD ideas on tasks and ‘guiding artifacts’ for thought or action, and the performative and ostensive aspects of routines and their abstractions
Summary
As developing scientists and scholars, we are intrigued by new ideas, technologies, or practices with the potential to fruitfully change our minds. The theme for the day was the exchange of old and new ideas in Routine Dynamics research – which turns out to be an ongoing blending, mix, and ‘latticework’ of ideations – aimed at enriching our understanding of the routinised and dynamically emerging faces of our thoughts and actions (Feldman et al, 2020).
