4D-System Mapping: Making Work Visible Full

Tuesday April 1, 2025 9:00am - 10:30am PDT

High Tech High International Room 123

Improving outcomes requires changing the systems that produce them, but systems can be hard to see. This session introduces systems mapping as a method to visualize work as interdependent processes, uncovering key connections, dependencies, and leverage points for improvement. Through real-world case examples, we’ll show how system mapping can reveal how work happens and guide more strategic decisions. Participants will practice creating system maps and leave with practical insights for applying this tool to drive school improvements.

Celebrate and push on the work: Give feedback on this session.
