SCTRI in Action —

Helping create an organization you want to 'live' in

All members are welcome to participate in creating SCTRI: we are almost entirely a volunteer organization, which means that 'it' (the organization) is 'us' (the members)! Any of us can contribute by working with others to continue creating an organization within which we want to work (and sometimes play!). The members making up SCTRI have committed themselves to an experiment: building and maintaining an organization using the Theory of Living Human Systems (TLHS) and its systems-centered methods in its structure and functioning.

Some ways to participate

• Join an Action Group — the work groups of the organization.
• Contribute an article to the SCTRI Newsletter
• Present a workshop at the Annual Conference

Some ways to learn more about SCTRI

SCTRI Action Groups use the systems-centered work group structure to structure their meetings. This format encourages members of the group to volunteer each time for the role of Task (if there is a task to be managed) and Process leader functions. The Process leader assists participants to cross the boundary by undoing distractions. The Task leader is responsible for facilitating the agenda. At the end of the meeting there is time set aside for Surprises, Learnings, Satisfactions, Dissatisfactions and Discoveries. 

Each year at the Annual Conference, there is an open meeting of the Board of Directors in which all members of the organization and conference attendees are invited to ask questions, make suggestions, give feedback or otherwise talk with the members of the Board of Directors about any aspects of the organization of particular interest or concern.
