The Pushing Doing Team

One of four experimental teams that inform the m21 research project


  • As with all of the teams it consists of four members led by a coordinator (see below)
  • This group operates at the pragmatic level, we are driven by new possibilities and getting the job done
  • It therefore considers materials, feasibilities, organization, and results
  • One of our roles is the identification of tangible and intangible resources for metadesigning
  • These may include the potential of our co-researchers
  • This group's major role is challenging or motivating processes, achieving aims, and delivering specified outcomes


Hannah Jones (Coordinator) asks:

  • How can we measure the success of metadesigning?
  • How can we encourage, monitor and sustain the process?
  • What are the performance indicators for metadesigning?
  • What data do we need to intialise the process?
  • How do we collect the data that emerges as the process unfolds?
  • How do we know what data is relevant/irrelevant?
  • How and when can we evaluate the metadesign process to satisfy our initial aims?
