Hi Simon
Whereabouts are you in the world?
Can you give an example or two of the stories you have collected? I am wondering if, after the summit, there could be a possibility for IFSW to put a call out for positive stories.
For myself, I have just completed my qualification (the latest iteration!) to be a practice educator for social work students and social workers studying post graduate programme 🙂

Hi Richard I agree with Michelle – a very comprehensive submission for the open mic. I wonder if you have come across Soft Systems Methodology see: https://www.ifm.eng.cam.ac.uk/research/dstools/soft-systems-methodology/
Systems such as health and social care are soft systems (involve people) open (with inputs and outputs)and complex (featuring a large number of interacting components). SSM is a cyclical activity based on action research within an interpretive epistemology and seems to have some resonance with the concepts you propose (above).
