Are you looking for more effective ways to transform organizations and communities to thrive in the 21st Century. Recently, a group of more than 60 methods have emerged that inspire creative action. They reflect two common practices: high involvement and a systemic approach to improvement. High involvement means engaging the people in changing their own system.What method or methods do you choose?  How do you make sense of all these approaches?  These questions can be daunting.

Over the last 14 years, a master’s course in Bowling Green State University's Master of Organization Development Program has wrestled with this challenge.  The course is titled Engaging Whole Systems focuses on these questions and exploring ways to accelerate learning of the methods.

The executive graduate students will be joined by a panel of thought leaders from the field of Whole System Change.  Our aim with this session will be to provoke a more intentional exploration of the methods through describing the collective wisdom that has emerged from the affinity diagramming experience.  Specifically, we will:
• present our findings of a two tiered framework that includes six design elements with core principles.
• provide a meta-analysis of the patterns found among the methods from the affinity diagramming activity,
• demonstrate how this activity is a “deep” learning tool that not only accelerates learning but also build one’s confidence.
• conclude with five realities for this emerging field of methods.
