Round 3: Starting a Redesign Project
Step One
To use the Human Systems Redesign Method, you must start with two things: (1) a social process you want to redesign, and (2) a set of suppressed values in the current design. For instance you could redesign...
Social Processes You Could Redesign
A social process is something a group of people do that can be described as a game: composed of roles, rules, and steps, where it goes roughly the same way every time. For your first redesign, we will focus on smaller scale systems.
Room-scale
Group practices party formats, bars, clubs, debate structures, group therapy or support practices, church meetings, improv scores
Family & shared living family dinner, chores, partnership expectations, parent-child time
Rituals daily practices, weddings, funerals, coming of age, new team members, trials
Org-scale
Organizational policies promotions reviews, project planning meetings, budget allocation, stand-ups, reporting structures
Workplaces team checkins, lunches, group physical activities
Schools grading, classroom exercises, teamwork structures, credentialing practices
The First Human System I Will Redesign Is:
Step Two
Identify Three Suppressed Values:
In order to move past the Personal Values boss level, you'll need to gather three suppressed values from the system above. It's probably best to use ❣️Emotions to Values.
Articulate at least one personal value of your own, and at least one from another person.
List the personal values below and let me know when you're ready to submit them for review.
