Have been looking forward to this talk coming out - had so much fun playing with the loopy causal loop diagrams, check it out 😀

Special thanks to @paulrayner.bsky.social for feedback and advice the night before this one! @dddeu.bsky.social #systemsthinking

In this talk Chris Simon will demonstrate the building of a range of causal feedback loops to visualise the underlying causes of the problems. With such visualisations we can advocate for the practices of technical excellence:

🏃‍♂️ I'm running the Berlin Half Marathon 2026 for Sea-Watch.org.

They conduct vital search & rescue operations in the Mediterranean, saving lives when others turn away.

21.1km for me = solidarity with their life-saving mission.

Dear people designing online collaboration boards: people that use collaboration boards also (quite generally) work across multiple organisations, why do you make it so hard to switch?
also for some: Why are board hard to find? I should find it in my browser's history??? (I'm looking at you Miro)

Great writeup on "The Three Kinds of Organizational Power" shared by Anja Kunkel (thanks) as we discussed Decision KP Maps. jacobian.org/2021/mar/15/... Reminded me of Anthony Marter's ProductTank Auckland panel. We share so much across roles - wonder if we collaborate efficiently enough?

How can architects move from bottleneck to facilitator? Our new story explores using transparency and Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) as a collaborative tool *during* the decision process, not just after. A small change with a big impact.

Super sad that @andrewhl.bsky.social can't join us and also happy we get to collaborate with @kenny.weave-it.org talking about "The paradox or polarity between decentralised and centralised decision-making"
See you there

Date: September 23, 2025
Time: 19:00 - 21:00 (GMT+12)
