Welcome! What will you focus on in your redesign session?

System to Redesign

Suppressed Value that You'll Focus On

Let's Begin! Step 1: Gaze lovingly at this beautiful chart.

Step 2a: Find 👣 Hard Steps of the Value above

Step 2b: Describe Two Situations, and Use them to Add Hard Steps and Capture Structural Features.

Please think of two times in your life in which this value was suppressed. Include, if possible, one time when the setup was kind of similar to system.

Step 3. Summarize Structural Features from the Above

Step 4: Invent a Role Play for the Original System

Imagine that you wanted to make a bad game—a game that suppressed your value. Imagine that you wanted to make a game that suppressed the value in exactly the same way it is commonly suppressed in the system you want to redesign. Using the same structural features leading to the same norms, goals, or fears.

So this is a game that's a lot like the system you want to redesign, except that it can take place as a role-play, in a single room, by a room-sized number of people.

What would be instructions for such a game?

Step 5: Improve the Role Plays

Role Play a Modified System (a)

See how you can modify the role play, making the hard steps easier.

Role Play a Modified System (b)

See if you can change some of the structural features in role-play (a), to make the value better supported.

Step 6. Redesign and Evaluation

Port the Changes

How would you apply what you learned from the role-plays outside of a role-play? How could you modify the original system?

Evaluation

How would you interview participants to make sure that the value has actually become easier to practice in the new system?
