Rules of Thumb For RTSC Practitioners
• Focus on the client’s needs and on how RTSC can help meet those needs
• Get clear about purpose and outcomes and stay open to revising them when needed
• Be willing to start anywhere and go everywhere
• Integrate your work with other methods and stay true to the principles
• Approach “real work” as “change work” and “change work” as “real work”
• It’s all about large, complex, system-wide efforts and small, simple, individual actions
• Work on many fronts at once and align diverse efforts in a common direction
• Be aware of what “wants to happen” and continue aiming for what “needs to happen”
![Page 11: Session IV](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052907/558ed5681a28ab357c8b46fa/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Focus on the client’s needs and on how RTSC can help meet those needs
• Start where the system is
• Real Time Strategic Change is a means to an end, not the end in itself
• Use the principles as a lens to see the organization more clearly
• Notice which principles are naturally managed well and which need special attention and focus
• The Areas of Work are “bases to cover,” not steps to follow
![Page 12: Session IV](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052907/558ed5681a28ab357c8b46fa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Get clear about purpose and outcomes and stay open to revising them when needed
• Related to Your Purpose and Outcomes…
• Who has a say in deciding them?
• What are you measuring to assess progress on them?
• Why are you assessing progress on them?
• When are you assessing progress on them?
• How are you assessing them?
![Page 13: Session IV](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052907/558ed5681a28ab357c8b46fa/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Be willing to start anywhere and go everywhere…
• Find the energy in the system
• Understand it
• Respect it
• Support it
• Follow it
![Page 14: Session IV](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052907/558ed5681a28ab357c8b46fa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Integrate your work with other methods and stay true to the principles
• RTSC is an open platform; leverage the value offered by the many available “plug in’s”
• Find ways for RTSC to support work you’re already doing; you don’t have to “start doing RTSC work” now
• Use the principles as a litmus test; don’t get trapped by them becoming dogma
• Play with the possibilities of the many ways that RTSC can accelerate and sustain progress made with other approaches
![Page 15: Session IV](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052907/558ed5681a28ab357c8b46fa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Approach “real work” as “change work” and “change work” as “real work”
• It’s all work and it’s always about creating a preferred future
• RTSC is the same as and different from anyone’s “day job”
• The principles are agnostic – they don’t care how, when, or where they’re applied
• They are always about the same “why” – creating your future faster and sustaining gains made over time
![Page 16: Session IV](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052907/558ed5681a28ab357c8b46fa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
It’s all about large, complex, system-wide efforts and small, simple, individual actions
• Take advantage of RTSC’s scalability – use it when and where it will add value
• Context and connection create power and leverage
• Large, complex, system-wide efforts are comprised of many
• Small, simple, individual actions are always part of some larger, complex, system-wide effort
![Page 17: Session IV](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052907/558ed5681a28ab357c8b46fa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Work on many fronts at once and align diverse efforts in a common direction • Working on many fronts at once…
• Increases the likelihood of being able to “cook” on at least a few
• Accelerates learning
• Invites others to lend a helping hand
• Encourages experimentation
• Aligning diverse efforts in a common direction…
• Frees people to “do the right thing” without needing unnecessary oversight
• Leads to systems thinking – how things connect and relate to each other…and don’t
• Optimizes the use of limited resources
![Page 18: Session IV](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052907/558ed5681a28ab357c8b46fa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Be aware of what “wants to happen” and continue aiming for what “needs to happen”
• Marv Weisbord and Sandra Janoff: “Don’t Just Do Something, Stand There!”
• Meg Wheatley and Stuart Kauffman: “You get order for free”
• Henry Mintzberg: Crafting Strategy
• Ongoing oscillation – paying attention to what is and envisioning what can be

“Live” Case Study Work
• What’s the situation?
• Who’s involved? What’s your role?
• What’s working well already? Where are you feeling challenged?
• How would you describe what you’ve done already in the RTSC Areas of Work?
• Which principles seem to be well tended to in the system now?
• Which seem to need more attention and focus?
• What ideas so we have about how to “bring about greater health” in the system?
