Join or Form a Special Interest Group

Among the SCTRI members are those people who choose to self-organize to explore some aspect of SCT in regard to theory, methods, norms, values or areas of application. These groups are informal, meaning they do not go through any formal body to initiate their meetings, and are not a part of the organizational structure. They are independent, exploratory, member-powered.

In general, like the SCTRI Action Groups, SIGs 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.
