Recurrent Assemblies
Recurrent Assemblies are activities that are carried out in a workshop or as a project of sub-project, and may incorporate several actual methods. These represent the sort of projects that will be typically undertaken by an accredited practitioner when they are getting started as they are familiar and repeating assemblies of methods. As practitioners become more experienced we would expect them to create assemblies of their own. They should not be read as recipes or followed slavishly, however the individual methods used should not be compromised. In some cases brochures will be provided.
Recurrent assemblies include:
- Complex Facilitation
- Mapping
- Leadership Training
- Project Management
- Staff Satisfaction
- Customer Satisfaction
- Innovation
- Inter disciplinary research as a problem solving technique
Facilitating a group sense making process using complexity-informed techniques involves keeping things moving, letting things emerge from complex situations rather than trying to control things, and being ready to adapt plans to changing situations. Complex facilitation is helping a group of people to go through a process in which patterns will emerge from interactions within the group. It is not possible to control exactly what patterns will form, but it is possible to make it very likely that some patterns will form. The Complex Facilitation method document provides some general guidance with reference to supporting methods.
Mapping in Cognitive Edge is based on genera l principles of descriptive self awareness, in which the process of mapping emerges though a series of tasks based on creating a meaningful context and asking meaningful questions. This means identifying pertinent sense-making items, asking a meaningful perspective question about those items and then evaluating the answers to reveal fruitful actions, linked to organisational objectives.
Mapping has specific mnemonics (ASHEN, ABIDE and one other in development) to handle the perspective question in respect of each of the three aspects of sense making: systems, perceptions and knowledge. The process is one of the most complete in Cognitive Edge and can utilise more or less all of the methods and much of the SenseMaker software. The Mapping method document provides some general guidance with reference to supporting methods.
