First impressions

TMA02 is complete and handed in and I'm embarking on the third part of Managing Systemic Change.  This module's core reading is 'Social Learning Systems and Communities of Practice' edited by Chris Blackmore.

Having just skimmed the final chapter in the book (as recommended) my first impressions of what this module will bring include:

• relief that I recognise some of the terms and feel I have an understanding of them upon which to proceed (eg praxis, boundary, system)
• concern that this module introduces new terminology (eg communities of practice) to a tired and overwhelmed brain following a difficult TMA
• delighted to hear that this may provide input to address my concern about how can one person can achieve change across an entire system
• curiosity about how some techniques which I already employ (eg facilitation) will be addressed - and a hope that they won't be taken apart the way that project management was in the previous module
