Scaffolding Conversations

Next in our Papers in Systems discussion series, we have two examples of models/canvases/maps in the space of "useful ways to focus a discussion" to support the socio-technical systems work we do:

• Container Differences Exchanges Model, led by Don Gray
• Decision KP Maps, led by Andrea Magnorsky

This will give us a chance to visit some of the systems-supporting practices that folk in our community have used or developed to support our work.

When: June 1, 2025, 2PM - 3PM Eastern Time (US/Canada) (20:00 CEST). The Zoom room will remain open until 3:30PM Eastern Time for informal discussion. (Check time in your timezone: WorldTimeBuddy ) (Note: this discussion is an hour later than usual.)

The reading to support the discussion is at:

• Container Differences Exchanges Model (pdf): https://www.hsdglobalservices.org/assets/documents/5.1.1.3.cde-30apr16.pdf
• Decision KP Maps: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/making-decision-part-5-introducing-kp-maps-andrea-magnorsky-9rdhe/

We will discuss these papers/posts (and the conceptual/conversation scaffolding tools they present), and use any remaining time for participants to share canvases and models that they find useful in supporting sociotechnical teams and the system design work we do.
