David Ing: systems in plural
Move through David Ing’s own systems work and the documentary practices that make systems lineages inspectable.
Follow this journey interactively
Start with the practitioner-researcher
Ing contributes his own systems work while also preserving unusually rich trails through systems communities and teaching.
Use the public archive
Coevolving records publications, courses, talks and collaborations over time.
Move into service systems
Service systems thinking treats value and service as relational and contextual rather than as isolated outputs.
See a method translated between domains
The pattern-manual work changes the pattern form rather than simply importing a built-environment template.
Shift from systems change to systems changes
Systems Changes Learning attends to temporality, rhythm, contexture and propensity in living systems.
Keep learning and action together
The approach is organised as ongoing learning rather than a fixed-stage change programme.
Document lineages without inventing genealogies
Events, citations and institutions can establish contact and context; influence needs stronger evidence.
Compare another people-centred map
Ramage and Shipp provide a different route through thinkers and traditions, useful for triangulating lineages.
