Step One

To use the Human Systems Redesign Method, you must start with two things: (1) a social process you want to redesign, and (2) a set of suppressed values in the current design. For instance you could redesign...

Social Processes You Could Redesign

A social process is something a group of people do that can be described as a game: composed of roles, rules, and steps, where it goes roughly the same way every time. For your first redesign, we will focus on smaller scale systems.

Room-scale


Group practices party formats, bars, clubs, debate structures, group therapy or support practices, church meetings, improv scores

Family & shared living family dinner, chores, partnership expectations, parent-child time

Rituals daily practices, weddings, funerals, coming of age, new team members, trials

Org-scale


Organizational policies promotions reviews, project planning meetings, budget allocation, stand-ups, reporting structures

Workplaces team checkins, lunches, group physical activities

Schools grading, classroom exercises, teamwork structures, credentialing practices

The First Human System I Will Redesign Is:


Step Two

Identify Three Suppressed Values:

In order to move past the Personal Values boss level, you'll need to gather three suppressed values from the system above. It's probably best to use ❣️Emotions to Values.

Articulate at least one personal value of your own, and at least one from another person.
