Life Strategy: Moving between Thematic Spaces
The “Project Network” Perspective
In April 2022, I reflected on the development of CALL (Creative Action Learning Lab) from Oct 2021 to April 2022.
Though my vision is connecting Theory and Practice, I spent the most time on the Theory side in the past years. Inspired by Howard E. Gruber’s Evolving Systems Approach to the study of Creative Work (1974,1989), I used his idea “Network of Enterprise” to manage my creative work.
Before Oct 2021
On Oct 31, 2021, I used the following picture to curate various projects of CALL. From Oct 2020 to Oct 2021, CALL became a Knowledge Curation Studio that produced a set of knowledge frameworks and built an ecology of ideas. I also wrote seven books which are drafts. In addition, I worked on four independent research projects to test concepts and frameworks.
I sort my frameworks into seven enterprises. Each enterprise has a short nickname.
- CALL for ECHO → Boundary Innovation
- CALL for LIFE → Creative Life
- CALL for NICE → Creative Action
