support practices4. Working through it
• Pause and reflect - discuss the content • Check out the website for additional
content as required• Follow the hyperlinks to associated material
Philosophy of the PlannerConstructivist change management1. We construct (and reconstruct) our knowledge,
actions and arrangements so that we can• know what is happening• make sense of what is happening• respond to what is happening
2. In our more successful practices: we work with others work on the systems; focus on what works ; and make it is easier for the next person to do well
3. Here & now is the best starting point4. Success and well-being are the key outcomes
Fundamental principles
1. Everything we do with the Planner requires
professional judgement
2. The use of the Planner reveals as much about
the users as it does about the subjects
3. There are several levels of response
4. While the Planner helps keep records, at its
best, it is a communication device
Continuous improvement
The Planner is designed to support the MAPS continuous improvement cycle
