Karen Oikonen, Paul Holyoke, Katherine Rizzi, Barry Stephenson, & Pam Sethi: The Reflection Room: Shifting from death-avoiding to death-discussing.
Thinking about dying and death is something we tend not to do, and those who promote Advance Care. Planning for the health care in our last days, hours and minutes would like us to do more. However, planning requires us to think about how we want to live our
final days and then share those wishes with others. This research proposes the question: How might we use human-centred design and qualitative research to go from being a death-avoiding society to a death discussing society?
Human beings are storytellers. Understanding complex
challenges through narrative builds empathy. Stories
also trigger the imagination for future possibility. We
propose that providing places for storytelling — and
places for reading the stories of others — might trigger
more thinking and break through the social complexity
that can be a barrier to discussing dying and death.
As part of a year-long research project, we are creating
“Reflection Rooms” – both short-term physical spaces
across Canada and an online website – where people
are invited to write their stories about dying and death
and read the stories of others. We will share emerging

Anticipatory Factors in Dialogic Design ISSS 2016Peter Jones
Applications of the systemic practices of dialogic design (Structured Dialogic Design and it variants) have recently developed and integrated futures and foresight models as anticipatory frameworks for policy and long-term planning situations (Weigand, et al, 2014). We have identified this model of practice as collaborative foresight, reflecting the perspective from practice that futures literacy must be considered an essential complement to multi-stakeholder deliberation where complex and competing interests are considered in planning and decision making. This study proposes approaches to advancement in science and practice that integrate essential properties of collective anticipatory modelling for design decisions.
Scientific principles for dialogic design have been developed and practiced over the course of nearly 50 years of developmental evolution, following Warfield’s (1986) Domain of Science Model (DoSM) and Christakis’ (2006, 2008) research extending the DoSM. One of the key principles in the DoSM refers to the recursive learning necessary to develop systemic practices, a second-order (deutero) learning process as noted in Warfield’s DoSM cycle. The standard model requires warranted claims to be evaluated from their testing in the Arena of real-world practice and reflective learning in order to advance new theory for inclusion in the accepted Corpus (theory supported by accepted evidence).
Recent developments from practice following from advanced design and strategic foresight theory lend support for progressing the models of dialogic design to explicitly entail methods of design and futuring within the historical model of dialogue. The observation driving this proposal can be summarized as “participants in collective designing efforts are likely to fail in their expected outcomes if they do not facilitate the requisite anticipation of future complexity in their domain of action.” Simply put, people will make significantly better plans and policies together if they can develop competency in futures thinking and share their understanding with one another.

Toronto Agile Tour - Timeless LeadershipJason Little
In 2001, Agile started as a simple set of 4 values and 12 principles designed to be a guide for delivering solutions to customers. Since then, countless frameworks, tools, certifications, and methods have emerged, with many promising to have the one right approach to make Agile work.
We need servant leadership...no wait, we need emergent leadership...no wait, we need agile management and agile leadership...no wait...
It's no wonder today's leaders and managers are confused about how to lead an agile organization. In this session, we'll explore how to look at your organization through 3 different lenses and apply 4 timeless leadership capabilities used by great leaders from organizations like IDEO, Ford, and Ikea.
Attendees will walk away with a profile that describes their individual leadership style, along with how to know how to balance each of the 4 leadership capabilities that are timeless, tried-and-true, and not rooted in agile buzzwords.
Improving quality in primary care. Leading with purpose and possibility.Robert Varnam Coaching
Presentation to the Annual Symposium of the Royal College of General Pracititioners' (RCGP) Thames Valley Faculty. The session considers how to turn a great ambition for improving patient care into successful leadership approaches. In particular, we look at how to tell stories which unleash other's commitment and how to move beyond just working harder as a method to improve care. We explore the Model for Improvement and how it can be used practically in general practice.

Clinical Synthesis Map: Cancer Care Pathways in Canadian Healthcare
Jones PH, Shakdher S and Singh P. Systemic visual knowledge translation for breast and colorectal cancer research. Current Oncology 2017 (in press).
The Clinical Map visually represents breast and colorectal cancer processes across Canadian provincial and territorial systems. A roadmap metaphor illustrates a system-wide view of patient flow across the stages of cancer care. Green “road signs” identify clinical cancer stages across the roadmap: Pre-Diagnosis, Peri-Diagnosis, Diagnostic Interval, Diagnosis, Treatment, Rehabilitation, After Care, and Survivorship (with Palliative Care expressed as an end point). The visual metaphor of seasonal trees visually connects these stages to the patient’s cancer journey from pre-diagnosis (summer) through treatment (winter), followed by new growth (spring) in survivorship.
The levels of primary, secondary and tertiary care guide the vertical dimension. Information and communications technology reaches across levels and stages, but is shown disconnected from primary care. The road-like pathways are colour-coded where experts differentiated care pathways between breast cancer (pink) and colorectal (blue). Where not distinguished (white), the pathways indicate current practices shared across the cancer journeys.
Yellow navigation signs indicate cancer events across primary care pathways. Starting with Prevention and ending with Long-term Care, these events show points for primary care continuity during cancer treatment. A parallel path below the stages indicates where some patients may also employ complementary or alternative therapies.
Significant areas of complexity generalized across cancer care are revealed in peri-diagnosis and the diagnostic interval pathways. A patient can be screen-detected (and then present to a family physician, shown in the breast cancer pathway) or may be initially diagnosed in primary care (white pathway). The circular pathways in the diagnostic cycle suggest multiple possible tests within primary care. With a primary care diagnosis, patients are referred and flow to secondary/tertiary cancer care. The stages of intake, biopsy, pathology, and confirmed diagnosis are shown, and the complex pathways of cancer treatment, shown on the map in a typical (not definitive) order of surgery, radiation/chemotherapy, and continuing treatment through assessment of outcome.
By Peter Stoyko
Complex systems are difficult to understand without the
aid of visuals. There are too many moving parts to mentally
keep track of. The parts interact in too many ways. The whole
system is cognitively overwhelming insofar as it cannot be
absorbed in one go without the aid of an external reference.
That is partly due to humans' inability to juggle more than
a few complicated ideas in working memory at one time.
Thus, visuals are a simplifying and organizing device that
complements the way human naturally think if they are
designed well. This poster is an early glimpse of a larger
project (called SystemViz) that explores what it means to
design such visuals well.
