I hope we'll start to us model.report and kumu.io to continue some of the discussions which aren't confidential, and to surface the documents members dig up.\r\n\r\nThe group has been the standard-bearer for knowledge and application of Stafford Beer's Viable System Model over the years, and still has this core expertise, but is focused on systems *practitioners* and covers a whole spectrum of systems thinking interests.\r\n\r\nWe run four open days per year - Spring and Autumn in Manchester, Winter and Summer in London (UK). Each of these is completely unthemed and varied, and has four expert speakers on a systems thinking topic, mostly related to application, who attend as peers and give their time and expertise free. Attendance is only £10 to encourage participation. We're now planning a series of additional SCiO focus days as well as the SCiO special open day (eight speakers) at the UK Systems Society conference, separately listed on here, and another Enterprise Architecture/Systems thinking conference. Focus days will be on systems thinking and: lean, agile/XP programming, new organisational forms, and design science.\r\n\r\n**Due to a mistake on the part of the organiser (me) we now need an additional expert speaker for Manchester, October 27, 2014.** If you are interested in this or a future event, drop me a line at ben.taylor@scio.org.uk" to "Hello all\r\nThis is a bit of an experiment, but it is such a rich group on here.
