RETHINKING FRAMING 5

Making MORE Sense of Schon's Reflective Practitioner "FRAMING"

It would be ambitious of us and useful to our readers if we could put a few finer points on the differences between the designerly "framing" that occurs, inspired by Schon's 1980s Reflective Practitioner book and the "framing" that occurs in CPS (Creative Problem Solving). There seems to be considerable confusion as the same term is being used for very different things. Indeed we should probably compare the use of the term "framing" in each of the anchor approaches; Action Research, CPS, Design and Soft Systems Thinking. 

When we consider the specific context of Arena 3 and Arena 4 and then reflect on the Reflective Practitioner book several problematic issues bubble up that an arriving generation of Design for Complexity leaders should certainly be aware of.
