A small practice for the invisible actor

A practical exercise: Name the responsible role when that information is known.

Original practice · Optional exercise · Words that carry their weight

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

  1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A notice says something will be handled without saying by whom.
  2. Name the responsible role when that information is known.
  3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
  4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
