Advising
Too often, organizational and programmatic strategies misunderstand how technologies are entangled in complex social systems, and how those systems behave.
Your strategy cannot afford to ignore this complexity. It must instead reflect it. I can help you:
-
Understand the complexity of your sociotechnical problem.
-
Map and analyze your sociotechnical system, anticipate the impacts of technology, and identify key levers of change.
-
Develop sociotechnical strategies — for yourself, your organization, and diverse collectives you might participate in — that map backward from the future you want to create and embed real-time learning and sense-making.
