Thanks for taking time to participate in the HSD Social Systems Map!
To get started, here are 3 things we would like you to do:
1. On the Bio tab, upload a photo of yourself. If you have time, add a short bio.
2. On the Survey tab, complete the survey about your background and connection to HSD. This information is key to making the network as useful as possible.
There are many approaches to theory and practice within the Human Systems Dynamics universe, so don't worry if you can't or don't want to answer all of the questions right away. Just fill in as much as you are able. Although no fields are required, the more questions you complete, the more useful the social systems map will be.
If you don't finish the survey right away, you can come back later to complete it. The link to this survey provided in your email is unique to you - you can use it at anytime to return to the survey to add information or make changes.
3. On the Connections tab, search for and identify the people you know, and share how well you know them, to help populate the map with relationships.
When you're done, you’ll be able to see who you’re connected to and find new people you may want to know based on common interests, common connections, and more. As others are added to the social systems map, we will be inviting you to come back to indicate connections to the new folks.
Note: The term "Segment" means "Cohort Number."
You can see what the map looks like here.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact Barbara Capps at bcapps@hsdinstitute.org. Thank you!
