Soccer coaching has changed a lot since I was studing the Charles Taylor FA manual to qualify to coach kids back in the day. This isn’t a proper survey, but just to say there is some really exciting stuff happening in sports coaching – check out this main piece.

Function, Abstraction, and Meaning: Implications for Sensemaking

Function, Abstraction, and Meaning: Implications for Sensemaking – Perspicacity

On LinkedIn (first links), Jessie Lydia Henshaw says:

I’m very pleased to say my newest paper – “Emergent Growth of System Self-Organization & Self-Control,” – was published yesterday by SRBS (the systems research journal). https://lnkd.in/eHNiCCkv.

Sometimes, it’s the small turns that matter, such as from accelerating to decelerating, reversing the innovation directions from multiplying to coordinating, and giving birth to the biggest changes of all, like relieving growth crises and revealing new visions of naturally healthy futures.

It turns out nearly all people already know a great deal about timing the creative turn from multiplying the expansion of startup designs to perfecting them as they grow up to become well-working and lasting designs. The same strategy applies to any scale, for innovations, relationships, and even ways of life that go from rapid profit growth to peak profit as they mature to reach their full potential.

Our economic world is designed to maximize profit, too, but mainly the fast and immature kind, stuck in maximizing the growth of systems that overshoot their resilience to become disruptive and risk their own collapse. It made the work of our lives fast and sloppy just to please finance, not our futures.

Being out of touch with nature and unable to mature kept our world from reaching its full potential, as most responsive growth systems naturally do, responding to their own cohesion to mature their designs inside and out, like our own bodies and minds did to fulfill our individual potentials.

System Conveners are an emerging group of changemakers whose roles are designed to bring people together across sector, organisational and community boundaries, enabling people to share learning across those boundaries and to create positive change in how systems like public services operate. Rather than concentrating on individual services or organisations, the focus is on changing systems, building connections, and being led by people who use services, as well as those who are currently let down or excluded from them.

The New System Alliance, working with Hackney Borough Council and NHS England/the Health Foundation’s Q Community, surveyed people to find out if the Systems Conveners we are aware of are part of an emerging field. We had over 80 responses, the overwhelming majority identifying themselves as Systems Conveners in some way. We are happy to share our briefing – System Convening – what you told us, summarising what was shared about the role, their learning and what they need to do their jobs well.

Download the full briefing, Systems Convening – what you told us

To continue the conversation, we would also like to invite you to an online get-together on the 31^st of October at 11am-12.30pm, where we will discuss:

• What we learned from the 80 Systems Conveners who responded to our survey about what Systems Convening is, what makes it work and not work, and what public service systems should learn from this emerging field
• An attempt to define this emerging field, and to bring people together for mutual support and connection – you may be the only person doing system change work in your area or your organisation, but you are not alone!
• Deciding whether there is a need and energy behind creating an ongoing community of practice, or action network, for Systems Conveners and if so, what it should focus on and do

This free event is open to people who contributed to the original survey, as well as people who are interested in the topic – it would be great to see you there!

I have just stumbled across 48 messages dating back to 2018 through either one of those forms. They might have been going to David Ing, but not to me (Benjamin Taylor) – I can’t find any easy way to respond so will do a mail-merge email to everyone whose email I can find!
