Referring both to both soft systems methodology and symbo-construction orga
nizational behaviour approaches, I interpret some of my own rich pictures f
rom a five-year investigation of teaching reform in a university business c
omputing course. I reflect on how the pictures reveal repressed or hidden p
roblems and opportunities on my own self-reflective practice towards becomi
ng what Richard Bowden terms 'being systemic'. Copyright (C) 1999 John Wile
