PhD candidate in Management (IS) @MemorialU, graduate of @OCADU_SFI. Constantly distracted by systems & design thinking, leadership, and (social) innovation.
Do you appreciate #SystemsChange, but find it hard to know how to start with systems change work?
I helped write a book with a few brilliant people about putting systems thinking into practice.

With @WWFScience, I spent a lot of my time thinking about how we can use ideas, concepts & tools from #systemsthinking to ensure our conservation efforts are holistic, inclusive, and impactful. We’ve learned a few things along the way… 🧵
@rcbstormpost Bishop's Falls is where we landed. Looks like we're trying to thread a needle between two systems. I think we'll bet that the western cloud front won't make it this far by 5:20 🤞
@janrecker @AISConnect@PhDForum I have been looking into it and I agree! The hardest thing is probably cost: according to this blog post (https://t.co/0APz437kvh), it's about $60/month. Not sure a volunteer will want to shoulder that.
@janrecker @nberente@profkane@ProfAaronBaird I'm trying to find @nberente's "nine sentence introduction" in writing somewhere... is it published, or do I have to listen to the podcast again? (I couldn't find it in the reference list: https://t.co/UMBJJBnlKK)
I would listen again, if I had to!
@janrecker @AISConnect@PhDForum Do you think there'd be appetite for an IS-focused server? I have been yearning for an IS specific community; the academic feeds I've seen tend to get dominated by "bigger" disciplines.
Recording now up. @ryanjamurphy provides review of Meadows' Leverage Points '97 paper, gap in building on method, critique in application, & call to rethink concept use. Includes robust discussion on use in systemic design or related practise. https://t.co/qOzOGbeA9p
Better thinking about leverage is needed for better strategies for systems change.
I don't have the answers but I'm hoping we can start asking questions beyond "what is the leverage point?"
The pre-#RSD11 paper on this is here: https://t.co/RzTxXjc2t1
@timeryapp Hiya! Is there any way to colour-code clients and tags? Or any hope we’ll see such a feature come to Timery? It would make them way more visual in Reports!
@WWFscience recently published the second book in the series The Art and Craft of Systems Change. Such important work for nature conservation - we are proud to have supported this. @louiseglew@shaunamahajan @LucHoffmannInst

@johnmaeda @hallekho Design vs. design reminds us that design isn’t (only) how it looks, nor is it (only) how it works. Design is what it means.
To play with the metaphor in the essay: What does it mean to design a "cheaper" plane? Is it really necessary to build/fly/enjoy a cheaper plane?
@johnmaeda @hallekho It's true that the "war between Design and design" un-inclusively belittles little-d design. One of the most important values a designer can have is humility.
We should especially prioritize humility when engaging in these navel-gaze-y critiques of the discipline!
@contextsapp Is there any way to get the Panel to persist after activating Fast Search from the switcher? I'm having trouble using it while keeping a finger down.
Letting go executes the search—I'd prefer if it worked the same way as it does when invoking Fast Search normally.
@andy_matuschak Thanks for the transparency here!
The performativity bit is particularly interesting. Certainly we — knowledge workers — are getting more performative in general. We're incentivized to do so. It's quite attention-getting. And yet, what is the cost to our actual contributions?
@protolyst @roddick_a @EleanorKonik@RaincityBones@devontech@obsdmd@fortelabs It wouldn't be hard to rejig the script to stream to one-file-per-highlight, either. That'd make for a nice hermeneutic reading workflow for use with grounded theory via https://t.co/ZswpInyOmh
@protolyst @roddick_a @EleanorKonik@RaincityBones@devontech@obsdmd Depends on your context and workflow. What would you normally do with PDF annotations?
A few ideas:
- Comment with a task (- [ ] Check out this reference for further reading)
- Tag for blogging about it later
- Highlight the highlights (eg @fortelabs's progressive summarization)
