ABSTRACT:
|
Beneficial re-creation of workgroups and organisations can be fostered through conversationally oriented multilevel cybersystemic modelling. Initial trust building and the sharing of participants' MAXCACs = Metaphors in use, Aspirations, Expectations, Commitments, Anxieties, and Capabilities, is followed by modeling the poly-systemic context of their focal system to exhibit opportunities and constraints. Only then, do participants model the theatre, and game and production-system aspects of their own focal-system. Examples and problems based on 20 years experience with this approach will be discussed. For background see the "modelling" heading in my Educational Cybernetics Website: http://artsci-ccwin.concordia.ca/edtech/ETEC606/index.htm
