  1. On my journey to discovering how to make a difference, I found myself drawn to frameworks and methodologies like:

    - #TheoryU
    - #OpenSpaceTechnology #ost
    - #LiberatingStructures
    - #DevelopmentalModelOfInterculturalSensitivity #dmis

    Yet when I search for these on #Mastodon, they don't show up as often as I expected in a self-professed progressive space that clamours for #SystemsChange.

    Anyone with similar interests, do you have any insight into why this might be?

  2. #Academic #TheoriesOfChange

    @teq I'm trying to draw a through line from prefigurative approaches to organising and Otter Sharmers Theory U.

    Like, Prefigurative is about envisaging the furture you want to see and working to bring that alive in the now.

    Similarly, Theory U is an explicit methodology for 'presencing' into the furure and working through a practice that brings that into action in the now.

    Inutivley they are very much related in my mind, but now Im struggling to find much academic cross over of the two concepts.

    Any ideas/references/insights?

    The short essay I'm trying to write just has this huge chasm in the middle of it right now!
