Every Little Model Podcast
A podcast about the models and frameworks we use to make sense of our organizations and our world. The models and frameworks we use to make sense of our world matter.Whether we are looking outward to the organizational ecology with which we interact, looking across to our adjacent interactions with our peers, or gazing inward to better understand ourselves, the type and quality of framework we use largely determines what we see and the insights we gain.In this monthly podcast two change practitioners, Tricia Conyers and John Norcross, will explore the models and frameworks they have found most useful as they have helped organizations frame, map and navigate their change journeys.
