This short session is the first of a pair (9 &amp; 10) that could sensibly be taken together, and they are part of a ten-session Foundations of Applied Systems Thinking course.This session covers three main topics:1.<span style="font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; System change: the ‘Worldview-to-Change’ golden chain.2.<span style="font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A flexible lifecycle for system change using methods and tools from sessions 1-8.3.<span style="font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Applying the lifecycle in your system.During the session, we will take you through the following methods, tools and models: a heuristic that connects Worldview to the enacted change including points of leverage, using the ST methods and tools in FAST in a flexible lifecycle; constructing a learning-for-action-with-understanding programme – collaborative learning about your system, for action.<h3 id="5c208be0-5eeb-48fb-b265-60fa6691862f" data-toc-id="5c208be0-5eeb-48fb-b265-60fa6691862f" style="margin-right: 14.15pt; text-align: left; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.2;">Objectives</h3>Following this session, you will:o<span style="font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp; Understand how Worldview, perspective, evidence, decision and change are all linked, and know where to apply leverage in that chain.o<span style="font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp; Understand how to use all the FAST methods and tools in a flexible methodology in any system or situation of interest together evidence about system performance and what is driving that.o<span style="font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp; Be able to develop a collaborative learning programme about your system of interest.
