| Abstract: The TIG turns 3 this year! In the past three years, the TIG has engaged in conversation targeted at identifying key issues of interest regarding systems thinking and evaluation. During the past year, TIG leaders conducted a survey of members to elicit their perspectives on systems thinking and how the TIG can support members’ continued learning. Now it’s time pull together the key themes and ideas that have emerged so far, put that in perspective with members’ expectations for the TIG, and develop a strategy for moving forward. This will be a highly interactive session utilizing appreciative inquiry to craft a strategy for taking the TIG forward. |
