Dr Erica Gadsby @ericagadsby.bsky.social · 03/12/2024It was great to hear positive experiences that could be characterised as 'broad path', to discuss barriers in pursuing this path where it would be relevant to do so, and to identify potential actions that could make the broad path easier more of the time. Big thanks to everyone who came and to PHW! 110
Dr Erica Gadsby @ericagadsby.bsky.social · 03/12/2024We felt that in each case, in our experience, the narrow path is the more dominant. In last week's workshop, this feeling was largely supported, though there were some really interesting examples of 'broad path' practice that we clearly need to hear more about. 000
Dr Erica Gadsby @ericagadsby.bsky.social · 03/12/2024So, we articulated two paths in a duality: a 'broad path', within which a 'narrow path' is encompassed. We discussed the contrasts between a narrow and broad path in relation to the nature of transformation, partnership working, legitimacy and change, and the role of ideas and tools from Systems. 010

Dr Erica Gadsby @ericagadsby.bsky.social · 03/12/20242) systems approaches/methods are generally being adopted by researchers, often at the beginning of an intervention, rather than as an ongoing collective learning process (Ray Ison's depiction of a person 'spying systems she can engineer' comes to mind link.springer.com/book/10.1007...). 000
Dr Erica Gadsby @ericagadsby.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Helen and I wrote this paper because, over a long period of discussions, we came to realise 3 things: 1) public health communities tend to engage with a relatively narrow set of ideas and tools from Systems; there are whole lineages of Systems yet to be discovered. dougbelshaw.com/blog/2023/11... 000
