Join us for this 90-minute session with Tjip Walker!
Please note that this session will be 60 minutes of content and 30 minutes of conversation / integration / Q&A. No need to stay for the entire time if it doesn't work for your schedule!
From its introduction in 2016, the 5Rs Framework has been explicitly tied to USAID’s programming processes and the agency’s focus on international development. But it doesn’t need to be. With the demise of USAID, the time has come to decouple the 5Rs from USAID and set it free. And you can help.
Tjip Walker, the creator of the 5Rs Framework, is currently leading an effort to revise and update the framework and its companion application guide to make it more usable to systems practitioners of all stripes. He will join us on Thursday, March 19 at 1:00 PM EDT to share the journey of the 5Rs to date—its origins, dissemination and applications—and his thoughts on the next iteration. But Tjip also wants to hear from us as many of us are now using the 5Rs in our classrooms and boardrooms.
We look forward to having you join this conversation. Learn about the 5Rs and how it might be useful in your systems understanding work. And provide feedback on what works, what doesn't, and what changes you would like to see in an updated version.
Dr. S. Tjip Walker is a recognized international development thought leader, an accomplished systems practitioner, and currently director of The Systems Practice Lab, a consultancy dedicated to applying systems thinking to complex social problems. He is also currently the chair of the American Evaluation Association’s Topical Interest Group focused on Systems Evaluation (SETIG) and a member of the steering committee of the Local Systems Community, an international community of practitioners leveraging systems insights in support of positive change.
