Making Sense of the Inner Workings of Digital Delivery during COVID-19Ari Hershberg
Insights we gained into the complex workings the digital delivery network found using Cognitive Edge’s SenseMaker ™
Things could have gone terribly. We were all sent home, laptops now mounted on dining room tables around the province, given a slew of new digital tools, and told to solve wicked problems with a variety of people, many we’d never worked with before - faster than most any of us had ever before done. We could have missed the mark. We could have seen far greater impacts from COVID-19. Many could have been very disappointed.
Yet, when we asked our growing Digital Delivery Network to tell us about their experience navigating these circumstances, the response was positive.
In this slideshare, we’ll explore how we used a sense making tool that is unlike traditional surveys, to begin to understand the complexity of this emergent human system – this Digital Delivery Network – in our BC Public Service. We’ll share insights on what specifically we heard is needed to create the right conditions to get extraordinary results for service delivery, in uncertain, high pressure circumstances.
You’ll also hear some radical transparency on the “oops” moments we all can benefit from avoiding in the future.

GreenBiz 19 Workshop Slides: The School of Systems ChangeGreenBiz Group
The challenges we face as sustainability professionals are complex and interconnected. They’re global in scale, with many root causes and contributing factors, supported by deep-rooted institutions and structures. It can seem that the more urgency we feel, the more these challenges seem nearly unmovable. How do we know where and when to intervene? What actions and efforts will unlock transformational change, and avoid unintended consequences? How do we work with power, and understand who and how to influence to make change happen? Forum for the Future and their partners in the School of System Change are building the system change capabilities of change leaders around the world, and invite you to join this tutorial for a whirlwind exploration of tools, approaches, and methodologies that can enable you to take a systemic approach to your work. Learn from the do-ers and the makers, take real life lessons back with you, and discover how you can be a system change agent, no matter your context and role.

BA and Beyond 19 Sponsor spotlight - Namahn - Beating complexity with complexityBA and Beyond
It’s a complex world full of complex problems- organisational change, the income inequality gap and digital transformation just to name a few.
The conventional way of combatting complexity to solve problems no longer works.
The great minds of Systemic Design have come together to create a unique and innovative toolkit designed to embrace complexity and change the way that we design solutions.
The first of its kind, the toolkit is based on academic research and human-centred design expertise. It is also the first to be endorsed by the Systemic Design Association and is truly changing the way that solutions are designed.
We invite you to come and discover how the Systemic Design Toolkit is driving a democratisation and transformation of the solutions design process for all stakeholders involved.
Systemic Design Toolkit - Systems Innovation BarcelonaPeter Jones
The Systemic Design Toolkit represents a formalized set of methods and research tools designed by Namahn and developed with collaboration by me (SDA) and Alex Ryan of MaRS. The Toolkit can be discovered at https://www.systemicdesigntoolkit.org/
These slides were presented at the start of a London Futurists open discussion event on Tuesday 15th March 2022. In these slides, David Wood, Chair of London Futurists, provides answers to five questions about the "Vital Syllabus" project: Why?, Who?, What?, How?, and What's next?
He also issued a call for collaboration and support of the project.

Scenarios are used to explore alternative futures. This presentation provides definitions and types of scenarios (i.e. single, multiple, archetype scenarios), describes the scenario planning process, and gives examples of selected scenarios.
Every decision we make is one made on behalf of your user. How do we know the decisions we make are the right ones? It is time we initiate a conversation: About where we are and where we want to go, about how we define and measure goodness and rightness in the digital realm, about responsibility, about decisions and consequences, about building something bigger than our own apps. It is time we talk about the ethics of web design. This talk introduces a method for ethical decision making in web design and tech. Rather than a wet moralistic blanket covering the fires of creativity, ethics can be the hearth that makes our creative fires burn brighter without burning down the house.

Chris Soderquist presentation at the 2016 Science of HOPE
Description:
This session will introduce participants to a powerful approach to orchestrating useful learning across difficult boundaries using system dynamics. Through real world examples and interactive exercises, participants will learn how system dynamics can help them gain far more useful leverage when addressing complex, adaptive challenges. Participants will also see how this approach was used in a project funded by the Foundation for Healthy Generations to guide strategic decisions in Washington (and other states) for building community capacity and resilience.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Specific ServPoints should be tailored for restaurants in all food service segments. Your ServPoints should be the centerpiece of brand delivery training (guest service) and align with your brand position and marketing initiatives, especially in high-labor-cost conditions.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.
2. What I hope to accomplish today
• Developing future perspectives:
• Why think about the future and how?
• Megatrends
• What do megatrends mean for us?
• Identifying forces driving change
• Identifying opportunities
• Setting goals
• Futuring is hard work
• Change is systemic
• Technology – Social change – Environmental change
• Forward-looking leadership
• Proactive vs. reactive
• Staying informed (who is responsible for your future?)
• Constructing shared visions for the future
• What I want you to get out of this:
• Deeper understanding of futurology and what it can do for you
• Overview of some of the change forces expected to affect you
• Introduction to futures methodologies
• Leadership strategies for addressing long-term needs
3. Megatrends
• Describe possible futures based on emerging patterns of
technological, social and environmental change. (Are “big picture”
descriptions of possible futures)
• Can be viewed through a variety of lenses.
• Illustrate the nature of forces that are driving change.
• Suggest actions for today to build preferred future.
• Are themselves subject to change.
Some brief discussion points – The Sitra Megatrends
4. 1. Labour markets
• Old jobs disappear
• Automation as a destructive force
• Task reallocation – each individual does more
• New jobs are created
• Automation creates new opportunities – automation as a creative force
• New resources create new opportunities
How do we balance destructive and creative forces?
5. 2. Distribution of wealth
• The „haves“ have more/„have nots“ have less
• Who decides who gets what and on what basis?
• Automatisation of wealth creation
• Who reaps the benefits?
How do we ensure that wealth creation benefits those in need?
6. 3. Governance systems
• Increasing ideological clashes
• Right vs. left
• Increasing geographical clashes
• East vs. West/North vs. South
• New forms of political engagement
• Participatory democracy
• Engagement through online communities
What is our role in shaping democratic systems so that they can better
deal with these challenges?
7. 4. Economic systems
• Dwindling natural resources
• Resources in short supply
• Decreasing demand
• Growing awareness of need for long-term sustainability
• Changing value perceptions
What is the value of what we do?
8. What do we mean by the future?
The future is not something that happens to us. We are constantly
constructing it with our decisions and actions.
• The future is a time other than our own
• The future is not now!
• At any given moment there are an infinite number of futures
• We cannot know the future because none of us have been there.
• We can know what is prompting change but cannot definitively say what that change will look like.
• The ecology of futures:
• Possible futures – What can happen?
• Probable futures – What is likely to happen?
• Preferred futures – What do we want to happen?
• (The ecology of futures suggests that determining the future is not just an analytical activity. It is
equal parts analytical & creative.)
9. Change is systemic
Technological
SocialEnvironmental
ContextChange appears more
confusing the further out
we look toward the future.
We can reframe issues by
changing our perspective.
What does change look
like…:
- from the technological
perspective?
- from the environmental
perspective?
- from the social
perspective?
Multiple perspectives give
us a more holistic overview
of the issues.
The push and pull
of forces
10. Megatrends from a technological perspective
• Blurred distinction between physical and digital environments:
• Interaction with physical & social environment is mediated by technology.
Multiplicity of technology-mediated social environments.
• Dematerialisation:
• Digitisation of what previously required a physical medium. Ex. Photos, music,
films & books. Next generation dematerialisation includes physical objects
that can be produced using 3D printing and other cheap and accessible
fabrication methods.
• Information finds consumers rather than consumers finding
information.
• For example, “Fake news” & filter bubbles.
12. Analysing systemic change
The Futures Wheel:
• Identify possible impacts of
trends and events.
• Analyse & categorise
possible outcomes.
• What are preferred futures?
• What actions will increase
liklihood of preferred future?
13. Futures wheel exercise
• Groups map possible impacts for libraries of one of the following in a
futures wheel (or technologies named by participants):
1. Autonomous self-driving cars.
2. Augmented/mixed reality.
3. The Internet of Things (IoT).
Try to map several first & second order consequences and at least a few third order consequences.
14. Analysing futures wheel outcomes
• What are the most positive possible outcomes? The most negative?
• What perspective do the outcomes reflect (technological, social or
environmental)? How might they look from another perspective?
• What outcome(s) reflect(s) the most preferred possible future?
• What can be done today to increase the likelihood of the preferred
future?
15. The future-conscious leader:
Proactive and reactive leadership
Now
Reactive:
Look to the now
from the past.
Proactive:
Look from the
now to the
future
The past:
Facts, history,
“reality”.
The future:
Experimental,
possibilities,
innovation
16. Visualising the future
• What scenarios do:
• Snapshots of what we think the future could or should look like.
• Mix of evidence-based futures and creative projections.
• Help us focus on important factors that can shape the future.
• Possible formats for scenarios:
• Narratives that describe a future.
• Images or physical models that illustrate a future.
• Activities that allow us to experience a future.
• How we use scenarios:
• Develop action plans (backcasting).
• Identify possible hindrances.
17. Scenario exercise
• In groups, create a brief scenario that illustrates your vision for the
future:
• Can be a brief vignette, a drawing/diagram, a short skit, or modern
interpretive dance, for that matter.
• Needs to highlight the key points in your future vision in a way that others
understand your anticipations and concerns and empathise with you.
• Should be neutral enough that the audience can evaluate what is good or bad
on their own terms.
18. Scenarios exercise
1. Determine the primary forces driving change that will inform your
scenario.
• Technological forces, social forces, environmental forces.
2. Determine the context of your scenario.
• Where does this happen and who does it happen to?
3. Primary challenges.
• What are the key actors trying to accomplish
4. Use what you learned from your futures wheel.
Don’t hold back. In scenarios, the absurd and outrageous can be good!
19. Analysing scenarios
• Where and what are the primary issues that are likely to come up?
• What are the pros/cons of the scenario?
• What does the preferred future look like?
• Backcasting (the opposite of forecasting):
• What can we do to ensure that the preferred future will be realised?
• Map major milestones between now and the realisation of the vision.
• Action plan to ensure that preferred future is realised.
• Contingency plans to deal with expected & unexpected events.
20. Challenges for the future-conscious leader
• Who is responsible for the future?
• Where do information & data come from?
• Who keeps it up-to-date?
• Keeping the organisation informed
• How are future-relevant information & data communicated?
• Constructing shared visions of the future
• Is everyone working towards the same goal?
• Translating a vision into action
• Does everyone know what they need to do?
• Does everyone have ample opportunity to do what needs to be done?
