This pre-recorded course of 27 minutes plus exercises originally took a 2-3h session to work through in a group.
This is the first 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:
- System change: the ‘Worldview-to-Change’ golden chain.
- A flexible lifecycle for system change using methods and tools from sessions 1-8.
- Applying the lifecycle in your system.
During the session, we will take you through the following methods, tools and models: a heuristic that connects Worldview to the enacted change including points of leverage, using the ST methods and tools in FAST in a flexible lifecycle; constructing a learning-for-action-with-understanding programme – collaborative learning about your system, for action.
Objectives
Following this session, you will:
- Understand how Worldview, perspective, evidence, decision and change are all linked, and know where to apply leverage in that chain.
- Understand how to use all the FAST methods and tools in a flexible methodology in any system or situation of interest together evidence about system performance and what is driving that.
- Be able to develop a collaborative learning programme about your system of interest.
