THIS IS HOW #WEGOVERN

By Resonance Network 05 Mar 2021

Last year, we witnessed the near collapse of our collective systems—the systems that should be sustaining us when we need them most.

And the truth is, they’ve been failing us for generations. Today, amid a global pandemic, sustained violence against Black lives, brazen attacks by white supremacists, climate catastrophe, and pervasive economic injustice–we can see what Black and Indigenous folx have been saying for generations: these systems were not designed for us.

It is time they were.

We Govern is a roadmap for that creation. This foundational set of agreements were written by a group of predominantly Black, Indigenous, people of color across the US, to guide how we make the decisions that impact all of us–including how we choose to live together, use our resources, and build systems rooted in radical care.

It is an invitation to redefine governance.

Governance is the process by which we determine the norms and rules that guide everyday life and behavior, and we—all of us—have a role in it. Whether it’s through our personal lives as parents, friends, neighbors, caregivers, and stewards; or in our work as leaders and decision-makers—the choices we make each day determine our emergent future.

System Shifting Design (October 2021) sets out emerging practice observed from designers who are working to deliberately and generatively to create new systems of health, wellbeing, homes and community. These designers are choosing to take this new approach rather than looking to improve on current systems. Developed over 18 months, Design Council and The Point People brought together 38 designers working at the cutting edge of their practice to explore what ‘next practice’ around systemic design looks like, and how the design system itself might need to change to allow more designers to work in this way.

Sam Rye – Fieldnote: The ‘so what’ of complexity – Parts I-III

Introduction to Part III

In August I set out to draw out the themes from insights garnered from over a decade of focus on developing strategies and experiments to influence change towards regenerative environmental and social futures, in the context of complex challenges.

You can read Part I : The ‘so what’ of complexity which focused on the character of things we’d do differently if we embrace complexity, rather than trying to control or fight against it.

Part II pulled apart the broad principles of how I approach complex challenges.

This third and final part of the series (for now), aims to address some specific practices that I use when approaching the design of initiatives which seek to influence change.

Visual modelling languages and notation systems from the arts

We’re past the half-way mark. As we enter day 13 of the Eclectic Service Design Advent Calendar, we are delighted to host the incredible Tomomi Sasaki

. Tomomi is a strategic designer, community leader, instructor, researcher and facilitator. She splits her time between Tokyo and Paris. I always enjoy her perspectives and her beautifully curious demeanour. So was overjoyed when I saw this post. I hope you enjoy her share today.

Some people collect Pokemon cards. I collect elephant figurines. I also collect models and frameworks, and on this occasion of joining the Eclectic Service Design Advent Calendar, I’ve pulled out a couple of visual modelling languages and notation systems from a side drawer of that collection.

Breaking reoffending cycles in the criminal justice system

Mapping causal factors, leverage points and funding flows

Home » Breaking reoffending cycles in the criminal justice system

The criminal justice system is immensely complex. It encompasses many vast institutions and subsystems—the court system, the prison system, the probation system—and it interconnects with many other issues that the charity and voluntary sector seeks to tackle, such as homelessness and mental health. From our previous research, Beyond Bars 2019, we know that this complexity in the system, as well as policy turbulence and structural issues, can cause uncertainty for funders around how to use their resources effectively.

Our systems map and report

We have therefore created a systems map of the key factors that influence reoffending rates for people in the criminal justice system, with the aim of identifying places that practitioners and funders can intervene to bring about long-term change in the system. We’ve identified 20 ‘leverage points’ where changes would reduce reoffending. Onto this map, we have also layered an analysis of where, within this system, funding to charity sector organisations is going. Progress on reoffending depends on a greater understanding of how the criminal justice system works.

Our systems map and our funding analysis have enabled us to identify some key recommendations for funders and government. You can learn more about these recommendations and what our systems mapping uncovered in our accompanying report here. You can view and learn more about our systems map at the bottom of this page.

Autopoiesis: Foundations of Life, Cognition, and Emergence of Self/Other – Call for papers – BioSystems

Complexity Digest

The special issue “Autopoiesis: Foundations of Life, Cognition, and Emergence of Self/Other” is devised to host an interdisciplinary forum on scientific research based on autopoiesis and its role for undestanding life, cognition, the emergence of self/other, and related issues. It is open to various approaches, targets, and goals, all having autopoiesis as common denominator, sharing and applying its core concepts to face novel problems, perspectives, and activities.

We suggest interested Authors to manifest their interest by contacting the special issue Editors, providing a title and (preferably) an extended abstract (around 500 words) about the topic they intend to approach and other methodological details before May 31, 2022.
