Description

Collaborative systems change work is complex and requires participants to be able to see the system in which they operate and understand how parts of this system relate to each other. In this hands-on session, attendees will learn about multiple tools for seeing the system in which they work, identifying key partners to engage from this system, and assessing how your collaborative work is unfolding across phases of collaborative evolution. We will practice applying two tools during the workshop: Actor Mapping and Ecocycle Mapping (see below for more on these two tools). Attendees will also receive an orientation to multiple other tools and resources that can help you visualize, plan, and implement your collaborative systems change work. Come ready to engage!
