Pocket guide to systems wayfinding
a community collaborative effort with support from The Australian Prevention Partnership Centre
In March 2017, a group of systems practitioners and researchers came together in Melbourne, Victoria to share stories of what they were learning about doing systems thinking and to further make sense of the challenges of doing this work. Following from the workshop we realised the potential to share these learnings more broadly. In this pocket guide we aim to illustrate key aspects of what it looks like to undertake a journey in systems thinking, with a hope to help bring others along in the process. Contributors: Seanna Davidson, Kirsty Moegerlein, Julia Bilton, Alyce Cuman, Mat Walton, Katie Conte, Andrea Grant, Ebony Jenkins, Mairead O'Sullivan, Joanne Brown, Toby Sargent, Tayhla Ryder.
