Part I: What is a Boundary Object?

We need a bit of Watts or Ram Dass here every now and again, I’m contractually obliged or you’ll think I’ve gone straight 😉

This struck me (especially the Daoist part) as particularly systems-y.

Please note I have spare you the very exciteable conversation between Jordan Peterson and John Vervaeke – not becuase I didn’t get a lot of good notes out of it (the robust organisations model as a metaphor for good team capabilities and an explanation for the evolution of personality types?), but becuase if I am shouting ‘just shut up and let him talk!’ multiple times at JBP, I can only imagine the reaction it would get in the groups…

Power is an increasingly prominent question for systems change practitioners and yet it is often difficult to engage with or to fully understand.

As consciously powerful actors in the field, Anna Birney (School of System Change) and Adam Kahane (Reos Partners) speak to the importance of acknowledging and being aware of your own power as a facilitator, and the dynamics of relationships, participation and how that contributes to transformation.

This webinar will be a conversation between the two based on their experience and reflections, inviting others into the inquiry on power and its role in systems change.

Book Description

This book brings together two vitally important strands of 20th-century thinking to establish a set of simple and elegant principles for planning, project design and evaluation. It explains the backgrounds of cultural ecofeminism and critical systems thinking, and what we find when they are systematically compared. Both theories share a range of concepts, have a strong social justice ethic, and challenge the legacy of modernity. The book takes theory into practice. The value of the emergent principles of feminist-systems thinking are described and demonstrated through four chapters of case studies in community development settings. The principles can be used to influence project design and outcomes across a range of disciplines including project management, policy, health, education, and community development. This book has much to offer practitioners who seek to create more socially just and equitable project and research outcomes.
