UK Systems Society Conference 2010
Perceptions of Systems: The Nature of Management, Communication & Creativity
Saturday 21 August 2010, 09:00 - Thu, 02 September 2010, 17:00
St Annes College, University of Oxford
Speaker(s): various
The theme of this year's meeting: Perceptions of systems: the nature of management, communication and creativity, has been chosen mindful of the ongoing issues facing those involved in systemic thinking and practice, and the ongoing debates about our own and shared perceptions of the systems we interact with and intervene in. Systemic research and practice strives to appreciate complex situations employing systemic models and methodologies as insightfully as possible, however there are issues that arise in the choice, implementation and (hopefully) evaluation of these models and methodologies. This meeting aims to explore these perceptual issues from the perspectives of management, creativity and communication; a trio of systems concepts that, could be argued, drive and underpin why we continue to use Systems approaches since their early formations over 70 years ago.Cost:
