We are announcing the dates and themes for the next RSD event, Relating
Systems Thinking and Design 5 Symposium, OCAD University, Toronto, October
13-15, 2016. http://systemic-design.net/
We do not yet have an open call for participation, but expect that within
two weeks. We are just now completing the proceedings from RSD4, the Banff
event, with many of the papers and presentations available at:
http://systemic-design.net/rsd-symposia/rsd4-proceedings/
And excellent keynote videos, such as the kickoff by Don Norman and the
others:

The theme of Systemic Design for Social Complexity represents our continuing
focus on advanced systemic and service design for contemporary and
futures-oriented societal concerns. All social systems become complex over
time, developing resilience, and increasing resistance to structural change.
Systemic design challenges typically face multiple dilemmas in defining
successful outcomes and orientations to change.
We invite papers and proposals for panels and dialogues that contribute new
knowledge and learning from completed case and field research in the
following topics:
* Social System and Transition Design
* Service Design, Healthcare System Design
* Complex Sociotechnical Systems
* Democracy, Policy Design and Modes of Governance
* Public Services Design and Civic Innovation
* Theories and Methods of Systemic Design
* Systemic Business and Organizational Design
* Sustainability and Socio-ecological Policy
* Built Environment and Design of Settlements
* Capacity Building and Development
The co-chairs include Birger Sevaldson, Alex Ryan, Silvia Barbero and me. I
will announce the call and final proceedings as we're ready. Feel free to
contact me for questions -
Best, PJ
