🌍 Still seeking contributions 🌍 We’re continuing to gather insights on transformational systems change—and we need YOUR experience to deepen the conversation. Our data collection is open until the end of 2024, and we invite you to contribute your perspectives. In early 2025, we’ll share data and analysis from the collector and explore opportunities to help people make sense of the data and apply it in their own contexts.  We’ll also share analysis and feedback through articles. From the responses we've gathered so far, we anticipate rich conversations on key topics such as: 🔹 The role of data 🔹 Consensus and conflict resolution 🔹 Decision-making policies and practices 🔹 The impact of technology 🔹 Influence and leadership 🔹 Measurement in systems change 🔹 Collaboration, co-creation, and partnering 🔹 The ‘library’ of tools, frameworks, and methods people have used to guide initiatives What will emerge from this work? 🔹 Critical questions to ask when undertaking systems transformation (not answers) 🔹 Operating principles to test in your context 🔹 Potential areas for further exploration To enable analysis and reasoned conversations across geographies and sectors, we need a diverse range of contributions. If you’ve already contributed, THANK YOU! You’re welcome to submit additional responses based on other experiences you’ve had or heard about. 👉 Take 15 minutes to contribute today: https://lnkd.in/g23N5PiH Please share this widely with your networks—your insights are essential!

Over the past 4 years we have been spending time building relationships and ko-labbing as part of weaving Indigenous Knowledges and complexity tools and methods. The most recent was a ‘Gunya to the Bunyas’ immersion retreat organised by Gunya Meta. At the retreat we were asked to create an artistic representation about our journey to date. The picture of the sculpture is the image for this blog, and the story of its meaning is below. #IndigenousKnowledges #complexity #humancognition #complexability

👉 Add your contribution! Patterns are emerging around what helps and/or hinders and areas of evident tension. We have contributions from across the globe and from all sectors, but no doubt a larger database will add substance to the final analysis. #complexity #transformingsystems #systemschange

All contributions encouraged and appreciated. Bernie Kelly this could be of interest to your colleagues in TransformersUnite. Perhaps a further learning opportunity in due course? @BarbaraFrontera and Jocko Selberg something for #ComplexityLounge participants to contribute to and learn from? Jackie Thoms something that may be of interest to you and your Frændi (and wider) colleagues. #systemschange #complexability #complexity

Have you been a driver/activator, participant/contributor or observer/commentator in systems change? We’d love to understand your experience and perspectives.   To assist in putting a boundary around this initial data collection, we have purposefully narrowed the focus to transformational systems change which we define as **shifting the component parts and patterns of interactions in a named system to ultimately form something new that behaves in a qualitatively different way**.   In collaboration with Complexability Pty Ltd and Riteways Wanjau we are seeking to explore issues, constraints and opportunities in this space and have committed to publish the insights generated openly (from our spin out entity – The Good Shift).

🔸Seeking your perspectives and experiences with transformational systems change🔸 In May this year we collaborated with Complexability Pty Ltd and Riteways Wanjau to host a workshop called Systems, Processes and Uncertainty: Options and Opportunities for Co-creating Change.  Around 40 of us gathered for an in-person session exploring issues, constraints and opportunities in this space. One of the outcomes of the day was agreement to explore the experiences of others, and to publish a short piece outlining the insights generated. If you are involved in the world of systems transformation and change, we’d love to include your input. We plan to publish the insights generated and thoughts on next steps in the new year. The activity should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. We’d love to include a wide diversity of perspectives, so please tag or send on to anyone you think would be interested in contributing.

🌟 Complex Facilitation Fundamentals Program - November 2024🌟 Join Viv Read and Julie Cunningham for our Complex Facilitation Fundamentals program starting 12 November 2024. In this interactive course you’ll explore the connections between: ▶ The nature of the systems or issues under consideration ▶ The tools, methods and processes used ▶ Your role and mandate as a facilitator ▶ The experience and mandate of participants. Over four interactive sessions (2.5 hours each), you’ll explore complexity-based facilitation tools and frameworks with some customisation based on participant interest. Prior facilitation experience is required. ✨ Limited spots available! For more details and to secure your place, click below! 👇

Sound familiar... ❓ Your organisation’s policies and procedures have been in place for decades with no (or few) mechanism for review or update. ❓ Creative workarounds are needed because policies are not fit for purpose and procedures are not followed every day in order for service/care to be delivered. ❓ You're expected to be innovative, yet you need to be specific about the outcomes you are going to achieve, the timeframe in which you will achieve them and the budget required. Otherwise, how do we know that you are being accountable? If the answer is 'YES', and your frustrations result from these, or similar scenarios, then engaging with the expertise of Bjarte Bogsnes is well worth the investment. The principles, tools and methods are beyond theory and tested in practice in a range of organisations and contexts. You can start small and local or tackle the entire organisation. Either way the ideas and examples are applicable and provides new perspectives on managing and monitoring.
