Description

(This is a hands-on lab with limited capacity)

Feedback loops, you know they exist, and you know they are important. Without feedback loops you only have 1 state, but we all know that the whole is always in flux, and you need feedback to deal with that! In today's complex systems, understanding and optimizing feedback loops is crucial for effective decision-making and problem-solving. When it comes to feedback loops there is no perfect way to do it and you can never do enough. But doing nothing is a huge waste. The most import thing is to gather feedback, make it visible and act on it.

Join this session to dive into the theory and practice of identifying, analyzing, and enhancing feedback loops across your technical and social landscape. You will collaborate in small groups to dissect real-world cases, unraveling the feedback mechanisms at play. We will guide you through some theory and provide practical strategies for optimization.

By the end of this workshop, you will be more conscious about possible feedback loops that apply to your context. Next to that, you will gain some tools and heuristics to recognize feedback loops around you and optimize them.

Prerequisites

This workshop is aimed at professionals in the digital space, involved in the development of products or services. No programming experience is required.
