As you can see, the Statement of Findings shows the relationship of the various columns of information in a brief narrative form.

The Schematic allows users to develop socially sustainable ethical and moral social policies for themselves, their own procreative family and their community. Working the Schematic provides a synergistic effect that provides educational awareness and understanding of how social sustainability contributes to the individual’s, family’s and community’s sustainability.

Failure to Validate. Sometimes a social issue is not supported by the three core values. If it is not possible to validate the topic then it is necessary to write a Statement of Invalidation that is also published to avoid duplication by other teams. Teams will find, however, that some aspects of their designs are only partially validated. These need to be published, too.

b. Working Through an Example. The following experiential exercise will give you the feel of working in an actual team . It will take 2-6 hours to complete in a workshop situation. Relax, this is an experiential exercise where there are no mistakes — only learning situations. After an hour, your team may feel that “something is just not quite right.” If that is the case, stop, examine what is happening and make adjustments.

Please form into Teams with 5-11 people. Do your best to comprise teams with as much diversity with regards to age, race, gender, professional and educational background, etc. [The assumption for having diversity is to bring a very diverse set of beliefs, opinions, and assumptions into the Team for discussion. There is a caveat, however: Great diversity could also become a great impediment to the smooth and rapid development of agreement. Differences between Teams examining the same topic can be discussed later, for everyone’s enlightenment.]

Initiating the Team. Although there is no leader of your new team, usually someone will take the initiative to bring several people together into a team. This is good — someone has to initiate the process.

Choosing Team Roles. Briefly discuss the function of each role within the Team and also the training and/or experience each of the members has for the various roles in the Team. With some effort, the team will soon perceive who has capability or even expertise in the roles of Facilitator, Recorder, Consultant and Inquiring Members.

After your first session together, you may want to discuss whether changing roles may be needed.

NOTE: Your immediate work is to select a Recorder even before you choose a Facilitator. This is necessary because almost immediately the Team will begin to experience “lost lines of inquiry” in the discussions. (See “Recorder,” page 81).
