Help me out here? What do you do when you have a lot of things going on and want to ‘get them out there’? I’ve got a lot of great stuff to share — how do I get to the like-hearted people who want them? https://www.linkedin.com/posts/antlerboy_sysprac25-activity-7358402735697760256-V46C Join the conversation on LinkedIn.
Help me out here? What do you do when you have a lot of things going on and want to ‘get them out there’?
It’s a problem I’ve struggled with ever since I started on social media. Social media shapes our business ecosystems to ‘products’ than can be sold to specific ‘niches’ — and the data categorisations e.g. LinkedIn uses are problematic.
I think the people who would get value from the things I offer are:
* public service and public-minded transformation leaders, burned out by failed change programmes, performative transformation, and consultancy fluff, who want an honest, flexible transformation partner with systemic depth to build capacity — not dependency. But they could be chief execs, project managers, people in the middle of a change programme — they don’t fit one job title!
* place-based systems convenors — from ICSs, partnerships, VCSEs, *places*, trying to shape fractured systems that lack shared purpose, without power, who want consensual collaboration and clarity amidst chaos.
* restless ‘OD’ and ‘L&D’ leads — learning partners, in-house change agents, tired of toolkits and leadership theatre who want complexity literacy, tools with integrity, and serious development for serious work — substance, not sparkle. (God don’t we all sound like ChatGPT these days?)
* and, in general, intellectually and ethnically awake but institutionally trapped mavericks, who feel alone with their insight and are hungry for peers, legitimacy, and real-world application — and want folks who speak their language, sharpen their practice, and invite them into community.
They might be internal strategists, innovation leads, complexity thinkers in large orgs or networks. How can an algorithm find these like-hearted people?
There are threads in all we do, but how can I make the diversity machine-readable?

Today as I sat down to write I wanted to share with the world:
* new version of the level 7 systems thinking practitioner apprenticeship — Leading and Commissioning for Outcomes in Complexity
* our next Commissioning Acadmey
* free three-day challenge on the ‘five core leadership practices’
* upcoming Systems Practitioner conference #SysPrac25
* launch coming up of our ‘crisis to capability’ demand management offer
* our LGR/Devolution work and the urgent thoughts I have about how to try to make all this work better 🙂

It’s already clear that although these are at least ‘products’, I’m not really looking for ‘clients’, I’m looking for conversations.
I know the straight business advice is that this is either fear or narcissism — specialise, focus, scale. Maybe that’s right. But what’s *your* advice for this situation?
