Please join us on May 16, 2024 for our monthly Virtual Water Cooler conversation.
Please join us on Thursday, May 16, 2024 for our monthly Virtual Water Cooler conversation. We (Pam and Pete) have been thinking a lot lately about how our future is framed by history – How can the roots of the STS tree nourish, shape and support the design of the future? And we have been thinking about how the future of STS is being shaped by our heritage in the field.
This time at the virtual water cooler, let’s again talk about the future of STS Design. Given massive and rapid change in the environment of work, what are the most important ideas and lessons that STS could and should take into our future?
- Does STS bring anything to our work in the future that no other approach brings?
- What is the legacy of our past STS work?
- How do we adapt it for a better fit in today’s complex world?
- What are the core ideas, methods, practices, and tools that should be preserved and built upon for better design in organizations and ecosystems?
- What new ones should be added?
- How can we help others learn about and use those ideas and practices in their work?
- How can we, as a community, work together to ensure that STS thinking and practice contributes to a well designed future in an ecosystem that is uncertain, chaotic, fast-paced, complex?
Join us on Thursday, May 16, in a conversation in which we’ll consider the STS of the future and talk about how we might keep the flame alive! Bring your ideas, questions, and observations! Bring your curiosity and knowledge! Come prepared to share your thoughts with us and our colleagues, and engage in a lively conversation at the Virtual Water Cooler.
Pam Posey and Pete Sorenson will facilitate this conversation. Please join us from 10:00am to 11:30am (pacific time) on Thursday, May 16, 2024. We’ll
have an open conversation — a true deliberation.
