I don't really post here any more, but just in case folks were following the Rock History journey after my Dad passed - here's a story for you...

@LornaPrescott_ 👋 Sadly I don't spend any time here since it got all musky, but definitely appreciate the hello. We should reignite WhatsApp sharesies!
@browningphilip1@HelenBevan I'm not 100% sure tbh. I think social capital is part of it. In writing, I was trying to get clear on a framing I was playing with for work, rather than trying to really name a field of practice or anything. Relational infrastructure was around as a term before I wrote this.
A growing evidence base shows the importance of social relationships, trust & collective intelligence for enabling change. @sam__rye describes "relational infrastructure", the web of human relationships & ways of being that enable us to work together & make change possible. Three ways to build it:
1) Give it more priority - e.g., create time in the initiative to step out of “delivery” & take people away for connection time in a different space to support this
2) Invest in skills in relational approaches – & seek to create space & mandate for people to practice these skills
3) See relationships as outcomes in their own right as they create the conditions for solutions to emerge

@ImmyKaur Sending aroha. The cutting under appreciation of what it takes to build and maintain something like this feels callous sometimes, given the transformative potential.

@gquaggiotto Would be fascinated to better unfurl the implications of "tedious work" being outsourced to AI in the foundational stages policy and legislation... (and other areas like journalism, for that matter).
Any good sources for this?

@Ecocene @SaveSchumacher Yikes. Was literally talking to someone this afternoon who was expressing how his practice is deeply rooted in his time there. So sad.
"We’re constantly trying to render ideas of relationships into more mechanical, objective, logical language, but this work exists in the heart; it’s visceral, it’s felt. How do we honour this kind of wisdom whilst making progress on a relational agenda?
