🧵While walking to VU this morning to teach class for #SystemsThinking in #PublicHealth, I began pondering the challenges I experienced. Also how designing & teaching this unit has taught me much about #LearningDesign & #teaching more broadly.

All pics in this thread by me!
It does feel risky to write this thread but here we go...

The interaction of studying the Graduate Cert in #TeritaryEducation & designing & teaching a unit in #SystemsThinking in #PublicHealth has really altered the way I think about Public Health teaching & learning @CAPHIA1
It has been transformative but also I have felt profoundly alone & unsure of where there was space - apart from here - where I could safely bounce ideas around about how to address the challenges experienced in the classroom. The #LearningDesigner I work has been phenomenal...

Good afternoon from #Naarm

Featured in this tweet and the one following are all pieces of street art from Naarm (some legal, some sneaky) that celebrate First Nations Australians. Perhaps some of you recognise where they are from?
The tram one should be familar to most Victorians and is part of @risingmelbourne 2022 First Peoples art trams rising.melbourne/wormhole/2022-… It is called Blak Love and is by Dr Paola Balla (Wemba Wemba-Gunditjmara)
This afternoon I want to start by saying that both illness & lack of internet coverage down in Somers (on Bunurong Country) threw a real spanner in the works for my @WePublicHealth tweeting 😥

A very good morning to you all from Naarm! Image
Today I will be tweeting from the ‘Making Connections: Multiculturalism and Interculturalism in Australia’ conference ❤️ as well hoping to find more excellent #IWD2023 🧁 tweets, going back to the #SystemsThinking conversations & generally being random 😂

These women helped me to begin to build the #SystemsThinking content while the talented & patient #LearningDesigner Nick Lekakis kept me in line from a teaching & learning viewpoint.

Prior to VU I hadn't worked with a Learning Designer before, in fact I didn't know they existed!
Nick unfortunately (or intelligently) is not a social media person but you can meet him here in this excellent explainer from @victoriauninews about what #LearningDesign is connected.vu.edu.au/the-road-to-le…
In the video Nick states that Learning Design = #collaboration to him. This was powerful because #collaboration is not only central to #PublicHealth but also #SystemsThinking.

A very good morning to you all from Naarm!

I took this photograph yesterday afternoon on my walk from the University to my apartment. This piece by Shawn Lu is part of the #Flashfwd program which includes 40 pieces across 40 laneways.

@cityofmelbourne Before I continue my twitter story about our #SystemsThinking unit I was so excited to see this reply from CAPHIA regarding the 3rd competencies inclusion of #SystemsThinking

Would love to know what the new and emerging competencies are..... can you give us a hint?

It is difficult to know where to start the twitter thread about designing this #PublicHealth unit in #SystemsThinking I have started this tweet at least 5 times... however my mind kept coming back to 2 incredible women: @mishymorgs @Riley_Therese

Photo taken on Larrakia Country Image
@mishymorgs @Riley_Therese People can be the bridge between us & something new, something complex, something challenging. Both Therese & Michelle helped us workout the starting point for designing our unit in #SystemsThinking & provided key guidance along with resources.

This week I am hoping that the varied content I will tweet will be interesting, create conversation & perhaps inspire in some form.

#Thankyou to @MelissaSweetDr & the @CroakeyNews for letting me once again host @WePublicHealth I must be getting close to hosting almost 10 times!
The original premise for hosting was regarding #SystemsThinking incorporated in #PublicHealth #MPH teaching @CAphia - but we will also be incorporating #IWD2023 along with some live tweeting from the first day of this awesome conference
Since last year I have been following the excellent @TessaRDavis trying to learn how to improve how I tweet (amongst other things) so this will be a real test for me. For all #PublicHealth academics I strongly recommend you follow her as she has great tips for students.

Forget about goals, focus on the system instead.

For actionable steps, check the thread👇
#focus #systemsthinking #goalsetting #satisfaction #hustle
1. Create a plan that will lead you to your desired destination.

2. Setting goals can help you get started. You will arrive there via the system.
3. Make the system motivate you and give you happiness.

4. The feeling you get when you achieve a goal is only momentary. But if you concentrate on the system, you'll enjoy the whole process.

I refactored #ThreeHorizons framework through a #systemsthinking lens, making it compatible with #causallayeredanalysis. And #systemsthinking #leveragepoints are compatible with CLA, so creating a full circle of frameworks.

medium.com/p/9a7cea166073
Thee Horizons H1, H2, H3 can be refactored through a systems lens. About two systems competing, with H2 being transitory factors that might strengthen or weaken H3 from H1.
#systemsthinking's leverage points can also be refactored into #causallayeredanalysis layers. From 12 leverage points donellameadows.org/archives/lever… - 12-9 is litany, 8-6 are causes/structures, 5-3 are worldview, 1-2 are myths/metaphor/deep stories.

Here's a post refactoring causal layered analysis with systems lens. By linking the four layers through a #systems lens, we have a better idea of the systems intervention that we might need.

medium.com/open-source-fu…

#systemsthinking #futuresthinking #causallayeredanalysis
Myths and metaphors lead to worldviews through framing and planning assumptions. Deep stories are the base for which we view the world.

Could those planning assumptions be changed?
Worldviews get translated to causes, through policies and strategies. Could those strategies be tweaked?

1/6 A thread 🧵on the intersection of #Cybernetics #SystemsThinking #Leadership and #CyberSecurity:

For context, first read this blog by @harish_josev: harishsnotebook.wordpress.com/2021/10/03/tow…

It is AMAZINGLY well-articulated and a MUST read for security practitioners & leaders in general!
2/6 Quote: "... we should stop setting targets and instead, provide a direction to move towards."

Wait, don't manage by goals?

Is a goal-less company/org possible? Yes 🙂
E.g. @basecamp led by @jasonfried
3/6 If you focus on the goals, you'll compromise your means. E.g.: Today's education #system makes kids focus on grades, not on learning .

Basically what is being advocated for is "Management by Means":

Lots of people asking me to provide a summary of yesterdays Wigglesworth Memorial Lecture. In the lecture I discussed 10 lessons that I have learned about Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) through 20 years of applied #humanfactors research. Here they are!
Lesson 1. A human error lens is useless and can be dangerous. I talked here about how using the term in OHS can be misleading and prevent learning. Errors are a consequence of systemic issues, not a cause of anything!
Lesson 2. All accidents/safety compromising incidents are caused by multiple interacting contributory factors. There is no such thing as a root cause

Just joining this @NHSElect webinar on Systems Thinking in QI with @RobinD100 and @GarethCorser

#SystemsThinking #QI #QITwitter
I want to share some of the fabulous stuff I picked up in today's Systems Thinking in QI webinar with the wonderful presenting duo, @RobinD100 & @GarethCorser

What is a system? And how can we apply systems thinking to Quality Improvement?

@NHSElect

#QITwitter
Traditional analysis focusses on linear processes & breaking down problems into component parts. But there are also relational influences within a system where variation in a systems part influences other parts of the system which may influence each other in turn.

Word “racism” silenced, actively, by #MedEd #MedTwitter #healthcare#professionalism” & “communication” labels

Saying “racism” offends or “hurts feelings” > actual #BLM deaths

If #professionalism itself is racist -makes sense that word suppressed
@FutureDocs
What @ayshakhoury experienced pushes out & silences many

If the editors of @JAMA_current resist hearing word “structural racism” then they certainly are not publishing papers using that word

@DrAlethaMaybank @RheaBoydMD @FutureDocs @TIME #BlackintheIvory #MedTwitter @bmj_latest
Journal gatekeeping: men
Behavior gatekeeping: women/HR

#accountability only for white men
-> we miss “Amy Cooper” in #academia, #HR, #professionalism #compliance

When people who seek control
and who monetize fear

are faced with evidence their narrative of control is false

rather than embrace reality
(or develop courage)
they double down

At times of high stress you see bizarre overpolicing & bullying increase over petty non-issues.
There is a gender difference in bullying tactics.
Men: physical
Women: social (exclusion)

Later looks/sounds like
“Don’t talk to her”
“Club”
“No one likes you”

(Yes, really adults resort to grade school tactics)

Faculty/teachers need to stay aware:

apa.org/topics/bullyin…
Whereas adults are taught “just shake it off” or “ignore it”, students or children are especially vulnerable to faculty or teacher over-policing.

This over-policing starts not just in preschool but in the cradle.

“The police” in schools: teachers.

I'll be posting daily mini-essays on #SoftwareArchitecture and accompanying topics like #SystemsThinking, #Modeling, #TechLeadersip. I aim to do this consistently, particularly as a writing exercise for the first 30 days (which this thread covers).

So here we start 👇

Dear #MedTwitter please, please, if you are a licensed medical professional and/or in school to be, do NOT delete your tweets or comply with anyone telling you to do so. It will harm you far more than leaving them up and explaining. Nothing is ever deleted. Can be used in court.
When I was at Harvard Med School and at an esteemed children's hospital, a case against an esteemed professor, that NO lawyer would touch cuz this was someone who had WRITTEN the textbooks and trained every expert, was won ..based on "a document was deleted" - creating suspicion
"Sunlight is the best disinfectant" you will hear me say OVER and OVER - wins & losses *should* be on data/standards but unfortunately wins & losses are in the court of public opinion. So be reliable, credible, and trustworthy. Transparency is one way to achieve that reputation.

Yes, the #vaccine rollout is slow, uneven, not matched to need. "Botched"? That is a bit too strong. Much blame to go around.

American #healthcare is built for silos, turf, acute care, reactive..not #populationhealth #publichealth #prevention. It shows. Why is anyone surprised?
And #MedTwitter, despite your hashtags & publications, when it comes to real life actions inside departments, hospitals, or even on Twitter, all you all do is turf, ego, cliques, us vs them, etc. I am unimpressed. Build *systems* Yes #impostersyndrome makes you crave validation.
I am a #pediatrician and if you need validation, I've got a whole box of stickers for you. I will even let you choose your own sticker. How is that? Because, yes, you are special. You matter. You are wonderful. Happy?

Then after that, could we get 💩 done?

Finally someone describes this in a way that makes some sense to me, and that coherently explains why these Trump-loving people can't tell me what news sources they trust: They're not interested in the news; they're game addicts. They get their worldview and rules from the game.
#SystemsThinking:
"You're not stuck in traffic; you're traffic."

People who are able to describe and interpret an emergent phenomenon (and what lies beneath) are truly undervalued.

At the point where the Trump/QAnon anti-masker asks me to "prove that Trump is a criminal but don't quote CNN or BBC, because they're fake news," I ask them which news sources they trust, so that I can attempt to limit myself to those; then the conversation stops.
