Dancing and Tending in the Spaces in Between
By Lily Raphael + Lindsay Cole
Over the last few months we have been writing up some of our learning in/with this very interesting in-between space that we consistently find ourselves in as public sector and social innovators. We began with a stripped down version of Berkana’s Two Loops model, and use this as an entryway into exploring the different views into the space in between the dominant system and the emergent system. Instead of more writing, we’ve recorded a short conversation to describe each of these nine views. We look forward to hearing what you think, and hope you might join us in our upcoming cycle of the Pushing Boundaries of Public Sector Innovation focused on the inner and outer work of system transformation, more info here.
This blog post is part of the Pushing the Boundaries of Public Sector Innovation (PB PSI) community of practice (CoP). We are people working in- and alongside public sector organizations who share a curiosity and commitment to work more ambitiously, systemically, and respectfully on the biggest social and ecological challenges of our time. These posts are written from the diverse perspectives of different members of the CoP as we learn and explore together. Find out more about the project and/or join the CoP, here.
