About this group

This group will support the cross-boundary learning and catalysing work being done by Systems Conveners – offering a space to share successes and get help with challenges.
A number of Q member Systems Conveners are featured in the 2021 book Systems Convening – A crucial form of leadership for the 21st century (free PDF) by Etienne and Bev Wenger-Trayner.

You may not have heard about them; what they do is rarely in their job description. You may not even be aware of what they do; they tend to act as enablers rather than taking the credit or seeking the spotlight. But they are here – working on sustainable change, across challenging silos, in complex social landscapes, amid changing circumstances. We call them systems conveners.”

The group is convened by Matthew Mezey, Louise Patmore, Lou Wilson, Will Nicholson, Diane Ketley, Susanne Smith and Des Brown.
