George Bradford on 10 Aug 15"'Making Systems Work - whether in healthcare, education, climate change, or making a pathway out of poverty - is the great task of our generation as a whole' and at the heart of making systems work is the problem of complexity. Prof Tony Bryk, President of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, spent a week with people from the Learning Emergence network, leading a Master Class for practitioners, delivering two public lectures and participating in a consultation on Learning Analytics Hubs in Networked Improvement Communities (background). A key idea is that in order to engage in quality improvement in any system, we need to be able to 'see the system as a whole' and not just step in and meddle with one part of it."
