Interactional Creation of Health: Experience Ecosystem Ontology, Task and Method (ePub)

Interactional Creation of Health: Experience Ecosystem Ontology, Task and Method (ebook)

Interactional Creation of Health: Experience Ecosystem Ontology, Task and Method introduces the complete and fully revised second version of Chris Lawer's acclaimed Health Ecosystem Value Design framework.

The book first describes seven foundations forming a novel interactional and ecosystem perspective of lived experience and its creation. These help us to better see and understand complex flows, forces and patterns of the origination, differentiation and recurrence of diverse contexts of actual experiences with health, disease and illness.

It then provides a highly visual and structured twelve-step method to frame and organize the task of interactional creation of improved lived experiences with health - whether for individuals, communities, places or populations.

Each step contains a detailed template and guidance for enquiry and action into experience ecosystems for a focal context of health, disease and/or illness. These are extremely useful for practitioners seeking to create and affect capacities of health and care systems for accelerating desired valuable developmental impacts.

Interactional Creation of Health will evoke multiple "creative lines of flight" among practitioners as they capture and reflect on their own learning from appreciative enquiry into the focal experience ecosystems of interest to them.

The book will be invaluable for any organization pursuing generative purpose and positive impact in health, society and nature with all its stakeholders through interactional creation.

Includes all 12 Health Ecosystem Value Design templates in full colour with completed examples of each for the lived experience of chronic pain.

With a foreword by Venkat Ramaswamy, author of The Co-Creation Paradigm and The Future of Competition.
