What is all this stuff?

I have been learning and exploring this fascinating space, and using what I find to experiment with ways to improve life for everyone at Cognician.

These notes are a gathering of the various models, ideas, concepts, tools and resources I've found along the way.

What I have learned is that all this work I’m doing is ‘sociotechnological’, in that people are intrinsic to the work of dealing with technology. You have to work on-and-with both at the same time to create leverage and to create a positive impact in the world.

If you have any feedback, questions, or whatever, please let me know via Twitter: https://twitter.com/RobStuttaford. I also offer a modest amount of consulting time per month around Clojure & Datomic, but I’d be happy to help you out with Systems Thinking stuff too. If you’re interested, details are on my website here.

I am ridiculously willing to talk to anyone about this stuff 😃

(Note: This isn’t an attempt to construct a cohesive ‘theory of everything’ about these topics; it’s just a reference library 😅).
