This pre-recorded course of 24 minutes plus exercises originally took a 2-3h session to work through in a group.
This is the second session of a pair (9 & 10) that could sensibly be taken together, and they are part of a ten-session Foundations of Applied Systems Thinking course.
This session covers three main topics:
- Developing an engaging story for your system change.
- Using your story for progress reporting.
- Lessons from 15 years of systems practice.
During the session, we will take you through the following methods, tools and models: using a story structure; creating a story; adapting it for progress reporting.
Objectives
Following this session, you will:
- Understand how humans process and organise information – as a story.
- Be able to create and refine an engaging story using the story structure.
- Be able to adapt your story for progress reporting.
- Learn about and reflect on lessons from systems thinking practice – both to leverage them and to stay clear of pitfalls.
