System Practice

HI Marko, This sounds like a interesting course, but I do not have the capacity to add something else to the pile right now. I have been through control system and system design courses in the past, so would like to support the group, where I can. Can you add me to the Telegram group?

Glad to hear that Michael, adding you now.

Good morning! Are we on in half an hour then @markoprljic?

Yup!

Perfect, where should we congregate? The course room, a jitsi link etc?

Didn't you get the email yesterday? Zoom. I'll paste on tele again.

Workshop 1 - Completed

Thanks everyone for your time and a productive workshop. It hasn't been easy (at least not for me) but we managed to frame the challenge.

Next to do is a quick visualization of our complex system. This is part of the homework to be submitted by tomorrow EOD.
I'll do my best to map it out with the knowledge and some research, and I do hope you'll share yours along the way.

Let's keep everyone in the loop of how we progress. At the end we should consolidate all maps into one that we're going to submit by May 15th as completed assignment.

Keep you posted on next workshop, in the meantime please get familiar with Mural board (in the Parking Lot on the far right please).

Have a great rest of the Sunday.
Cheers!

Thanks for being an excellent host Marko. I'd agree it was difficult framing the challenge but thats always the case with multi stakeholder alignment so I think it went pretty darn well. Not perfect as we didn't quite nail the definition to a point where everyone was content for words but it was still pretty solid. As we go through other exercises - especially in a time boxed manner - I'm sure we'll begin to hit a stride Pareto style ;)

One thing perhaps worth doing is electing a facilitator as we start the next meeting. That being someone other than the host with the mandate of "holding the space" as well as cracking the whip when were slow or gone off topic/message. Your presentation skills were great so I hope you can remain as host for the next meeting but perhaps you'd elect a facilitator to be clock watcher/whip for the next one? (saving you the burden of doing two jobs ;))

Yes! I agree with facilitator suggestion. I didn't want to cut the convo for the first session but I'll make sure to properly timebox next one and give clear instructions for us to be more efficient.

I nominate Lanski as facilitator if he fancy as he's closest to the subject we picked (currently working in that industry and hearing problems first-hand), and this is important as they wrote in the workbook.
When we come to third workshop creating loops etc. maybe you Josh can facilitate that one. And the narrative exercise can take Dani?

I'm open to anything 😊
