How to design communities, businesses, nations & other organisations to deal quickly & effectively with environmental fluidity & complexity

by Gabriele Bammer

How to design communities, businesses, nations & other organisations to deal quickly & effectively with environmental fluidity & complexity is explained by Angela Espinosa in her i2Insights contribution at https://i2insights.org/2023/01/24/viable-system-model/. The Viable System Model (VSM) examines organisations in terms of operations (eg., service provision), coordination, management, intelligence about future & strategic oversight. It posits that a responsive complex organisation needs to be composed of highly connected autonomous, effective & agile subsidiary organisations, as well as that a responsive complex organisation & its subsidiaries need to operate cohesively with shared ethos, purpose, processes & technologies. When values are aligned with ethos of sustainability & social responsibility, organisations become more resilient & capable of developing sustainable self-governance. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org<http://i2insights.org/> CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

Fourteen years and two administrations later, the “rightful place” of science (and technology) appears to be at the center of a national economic renewal. Join the Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/cspo.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6…> on January 23 at 3pm for a discussion about what challenges and opportunities come with this new placement of science and how new policy tools for responsible and anticipatory governance could lead to a more inclusive, robust, and globally competitive innovation ecosystem. The panel will address core questions including how key elements of the US innovation system—science-based industries, universities, government labs, the intellectual property system, and entrepreneurial communities—can incorporate otherwise ignored communities and minority perspectives. Panelists will describe case studies ranging from the Nanoscience in Society initiative to biomedical technology development where real-time technology assessment, citizen forums, and participatory technology assessment helped advance more inclusive and responsive development of innovative services and products. Attendees will be invited to contribute their perspective on how to implement a more robust and inclusive innovation system. The panel will also launch the newest volume of the Rightful Place of Science<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/cspo.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6…> series. CSPO’s Rightful Place of Science: New Tools for Science Policy, Volume II<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/cspo.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6…> speaks to the policy and governance challenges posed by new and emerging technologies. Both policymakers and technology innovators will find the volume useful as they work to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world and tackling issues such as carbon dioxide removal<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/cspo.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6…>, human genome editing<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/cspo.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6…>, and planetary defense<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/cspo.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6…>.

Human learning systems

by Gabriele Bammer

Human learning systems are described by Toby Lowe in https://i2insights.org/2023/01/10/human-learning-systems/. They are an approach to public management that continuously explores the messy reality of how outcomes that matter to each person might be achieved in their unique life context. The moral purpose is to support human freedom & flourishing. Learning is only viable management strategy. Outcomes are emergent properties of people's lives as systems, therefore good outcomes require healthy systems. Systems stewardship is needed to plan & organise learning cycles and to nurture empathy & trust. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org<http://i2insights.org/> CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================
