Design for Social Innovation: Case Studies from Around the World转发了
We need more [systems] design approaches to addressing social challenges - labs that bring the right actors together in the right way and guide them through cocreation processes to act as a coordinated ecosystem around wicked challenges. This book illustrates case studies of such labs around the world: https://is.gd/Uz5Whe Here is one of the case studies from The Edmonton Shift Lab: https://lnkd.in/efKXrhdK

Kambidima Wotela, PhD (UCT) do you know about this organisation? They have such great nuggets in your area of specialisation.
"System theories have their limits, especially when it comes to 'social systems'. Biological evolution, which works by changing the phenotype of a species, in tiny ways, randomly and gradually, and discarding most of the changes as doing more harm than good, is not a good model for business evolution. In system theory, a good regulator must have access to a model of the system that it is regulating. But only the “requisite” variety is needed in that model. Capturing more variable values than you need, in the hope they might help you in future, will likely turn your data lake into a septic lagoon. The good regulator responds to feedback by adjusting what it regulates. But we should distinguish modifying the value of an invariant used in a rule (e.g., the desired temperature of a room), from changing the state variables (the stocks in a CLD) or changing the rules for state transitions (the flows in a CLD). The latter implies the regulator a) has prior knowledge of likely changes in the environment, b) can detect them, and c) knows how to change the regulated system accordingly. Changing them randomly is not a good idea." https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/systems-rules-self-organization-graham-berrisford-28fge
