T’eVine, Our Community Network

What is not Systemic Change Investigation?

• Asking how people feel about things that are easily discernable without deeper analysis • Information without an usable action plan • Short term deliverables • A process replicating 70% of other processes

We see systemic change through a strength-based lens that reveals a day when the world sees our community as respected, vital, and important.

The dawn of that day is when we see ourselves that way. The path to that dawn is the Way of the Wand, it invites us to: • Respect the traditions of others • Do things that are important to others • Celebrate key community moments and events

SYSTEMIC CHANGE INVESTIGATION IS RESEARCH AS SERVICE, NOT AS AN INTERVENTION

SYSTEMIC CHANGE

• Requires a paradigm shift • Requires a pressing need • Requires synchronicity to occur • Requires critical thinking skills • Requires adaptive learning processes • Requires decades to accomplish • Requires reallocation of resources • Requires revision of existing roles • Requires trust and commitment • Requires a self-sustaining framework • Unlikely to be widely supported • Has the characteristics of a singularity • Conforms to principles of Natural Law
