SCiO holds regular meetings: some are open to all and some are open only to its members. Both types of meetings are normally held at Manchester Business School. Most of these meetings fall into one of two types:

See the Events Page for the agenda and outline of forthcoming meetings as they become available.

The development meetings will be held on the day before the open meetings (Sundays) for the convenience of those who have to travel a significant distance and wish to avoid taking two working days out of the same week. Unless advance notice nearer to the event states otherwise, these will be held at Manchester Business School. (The MBS restaurant is not open on a Sunday, but the museum café nearby is a good alternative.)

We hope many of you will be able to take part in the development sessions this year. They provide an exceptional opportunity to draw upon the collective expertise and experience of other SCiO members in a friendly and supportive environment in which your confidentiality and IP rights (where at issue) will be fully respected. SCiO encourages a culture of mutual assistance and education, and is supportive of those who are only just beginning to draw upon the powerful organizational techniques of systems thinking and cybernetics, so participants may well find exactly the community of support they need.

We have also been experimenting with new techniques in these sessions, specifically applying Structural Coupling to SCiO for shared insight into purposes and collaboration.
