Summary
A public research-and-learning corpus that develops a temporally sensitive account of systems changes in living systems.
Implications for practice
It offers a contrasting grammar to stage-based change models and keeps doing, thinking and making together.
Key distinctions
- changes rather than a singular planned change
- rhythmic shifts rather than static states
- contexture rather than decontextualised variables
- propensity rather than prediction
Historical development
- Systems Changes Learning Circle
- Bateson
- Tim Ingold
- contextual-dyadic philosophy
Ideas it depends on
- living systems
- ecological epistemology
- action learning
Further developments
- workshops and learning circles
- systems-changes practices
Connections to practice
- collective inquiry
- reframing change
- temporality
Common confusions
- It is not simply another change-management sequence.
Further checks
- Add comparative accounts from other living-systems and process traditions.
