ACTIVITY 1     Accelerating Knowledge Sharing

Each Catalytic Thinking Lab is supported by a WindTunneling project. WindTunneling is a systemic methodology to accelerate learning and knowledge sharing. Share what you learned from the lab transparently and anonymously. Compare your thinking and respond to the ideas of others. Everyone gets to see every idea; no one knows who shared which idea.

 

Go to WindTunneling. Use Project Code 77NCJ to record your insights.


ACTIVITY 2     Synthesis

Take 10-30 minutes to reflect on Properties of Systems I presentation and the activity. What insights come to you now? How does making this kind of map shape your perception? What was it like to talk with your colleagues about your work in relation to a system map?

 


ACTIVITY 3     Systems Properties Knowledge Mapping

Make your own knowledge map of properties of systems. Use the chalkboard as a reference. When you have made your map, re-watch the lab presentation. As you watch, take additional notes on your map.

After the presentation, write any questions and insights that come to you on your map.
