Duration:

3 hours

Location:

Online via Zoom

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!

Learning Objectives

In this session you will:

  • Practice creating an Actor Map, a systems thinking tool that focuses on identifying and visualizing actors in the system and understanding their connections
  • Practice creating an Ecocycle Map for your initiative, which helps visualize how resources and energy are distributed across your work, in order to plan for collaborative resilience
  • Learn about additional collaborative engagement and planning tools
  • Discuss how you might apply these tools in your own work
  • Learn from peers about how these tools apply in their contexts
