What I am Thinking About
The holiday season is nearly upon us. The cold weather has returned, the grey skies and early evenings are making it cozy inside. It’s that time of year when reflection is front and centre, as is remembrance from the December 7th Day of Remembrance for Violence Against Women in Canada. It’s another example of systems practice and the importance of considering systems thinking in health.
I’m thinking of systems a lot these days. The Region of Peel has developed simple videos that explain how its health services work. These are terrific examples of how systems become visible and why systems thinking often requires visualization to become helpful in the health sector.
As I begin to organize a series of workshops, videos and resources for systems thinking and practice in the health sector, this has been a great source of inspiration. Making systems visible and the means to do this is is top of mind

Projects
I’m completing two major strategy projects for clients and getting back into a service design project.
From a teaching perspective, developing a curriculum in systems thinking for the Strategic Foresight and Innovation course has been top of mind. This has been drawing on the work that I’ve done in developing out the Design Loft program as part of the Cense Academy’s reboot. I’ve also been teaching the Strategic Foresight and Innovation graduate course, SFIN-6020 Innovation Research Methods at OCAD University.
All of this has taken place as I support the Canadian Evaluation Society in developing a marketing and outreach initiative to engage more people in the professional association and evaluation as a whole.
Oh yes, and the eHealth Literacy Scale research has continued in full swing with primary data collection following the publication of a new systematic review that was widely shared within the NHS in the UK.
