Welcome to the Greater than the Sum Community

Welcome to the Greater than the Sum community!

We're all about visualizing the currently invisible dynamics in systems that can enable transformation. We're about collectively making a real and lasting difference. We prioritize equity and regenerating our natural systems. And in service to those higher purposes, we're here help one another learn Social System Mapping, from:
  • Sharing the vision and catalyzing a project, to
  • Using sumApp, Kumu, and other data visualization tools to create Social System Maps, to
  • Helping networks learn this new visual language for sense-making and gaining new insights into the human systems they're trying to change.

This is a collective, emergent field and we need to surface and cross-pollinate everyone's best thinking.

We hope you will participate energetically in the community - both giving and getting, supporting and challenging.

You can start by introducing yourself :-)

(suggestions for what to share)
  • The network(s) you plan to map.
  • The focus of your work
  • Your role in your network(s).
  • Which 'Hat(s)' you see yourself wearing in the Social System Mapping process.
  • What you need to get here.
  • What you can offer the community.
  • What you're excited about
  • What motivates you to do the work you do

Be brief and to the point, or be verbose - whichever you prefer, we'd love to know you're here!

Hugs,
Christine, Tim, the Master Mappers - Jim, Sarah, Drew, Lisa, Maya, Griff  - and the rest of the Greater than the Sum community.
