“…At the same time, IMR’s flexibility offers a variety of modalities that organizations, participants, and researchers can use to modify the methodology to meet key stakeholder needs and any particular time pressures organizational members must address throughout the process of engagement with IMR facilitators. This flexibility includes recent innovations in online delivery and facilitation of IMR sessions (Hogan et al, 2022).…”

In this research methods essay, we describe Interactive Management Research (IMR), a participatory action research methodology with extensive applications in organizational settings but new to organizational communication research. IMR offers possibilities as a participant-centered methodology that is particularly well suited for complex organizational design situations requiring a systems perspective. We detail two versions of IMR, an interview-based method (IMRi) and a group-based method (IMRg), using a case study of each method to illustrate their application to organizational communication research. We believe IMR is an approach to participatory action research that can provide unique insights into the systems thinking and communication that shapes organizations and organizing.

“…Central to PASSE is a focus on the role of CI facilitators and developing key CI facilitation competencies needed to support groups in the use of tools and methods for system design work (Broome and Hogan 2021 ). While the use of technology and specific tools and methods is central to modern systems science, including recent innovations in the use of systems thinking tools in online CI facilitation contexts (Hogan et al 2022 ), in this paper, we argue that a postdigital approach (Jandrić et al 2018 ; Knox 2019 ) to applied systems science education needs to be integral, in the sense that it embraces a holistic systems perspective. For example, a holistic systems perspective is important in relation to timescales in the analysis and operation of living systems, and (inter)subjective and (inter)objective dynamics that need to be understood in the design and management of systems.…”

The design of systems to support sustainable wellbeing is contingent upon lifespan education of Homo sapiens and ongoing efforts to cultivate individual and collective intelligence. The Postdigital Applied Systems Science Education (PASSE) framework presented in this paper highlights the need for greater investment in educational infrastructures that support the development of collective intelligence, teamwork, and system design skills. We propose that the implementation of PASSE involves group- and project-based work focused on developing (1) an understanding of systems, (2) an understanding of group dynamics relevant to the management and design of systems, and (3) skill in the application of applied systems science methods that can be used by groups in the management and redesign of systems. To showcase curricular and pedagogical challenges and opportunities, we describe key features of our current delivery of PASSE along with future plans and prospects. Aligned with postdigital perspectives and innovations at the nexus of biology, information, and society, we highlight the potential for ongoing redesign of educational infrastructures and technologies that enhance societal teamwork and system design capabilities that allow us to address increasingly complex societal challenges.
