My feeling is that relational frontline practice needs to work alongside 'Systems Convener' teams (eg see Hackney, Surrey) at both place and system levels to really shift things. Read the book about Systems Conveners (free pdf): wenger-trayner.com/systems-conven… #LiberatingPublicServices

The steering group for our 'Systems Convening' community of practice has a Zoom tomorrow afternoon - if you'd like to be part of that small organising group, supporting the community of practice going forward, please send a DM and we'll share the details.

This event looks like it will be of interest to all Systems Conveners (as System Steward is basically another label for Systems Convener). The Human Learning Systems approach - that is the main advocate for System Stewards - itself recommends the book 'Systems Convening'.

The Design Council has expanded its famed double-diamond to include the "four roles at the heart of systemic design". One is the 'Connector + Convener'. See video: vimeo.com/showcase/10326… (focuses on Cmty Organising). As Systems Conveners do we play most of the 4 roles at times?

Interested in the role that Systems Conveners are playing in Higher Education/Universities? The 'Journal on Excellence in College Teaching' has a special issue on social learning spaces, which includes 3 articles focused on Systems Convening: static1.squarespace.com/static/63583a3…
