  • Leadership emergence

    Christopher J Burman, Marota AphaneARTICLEAfrican Journal of AIDS Research2016

    This article focuses on the utility of a knowledge management heuristic called the Cynefin framework, which was applied during an ongoing pilot intervention in the Limpopo province, South Africa. The intervention aimed to identify and then consolidate low-cost, innovative bio-social responses to reinforce the biomedical opportunities that now have the potential to "end AIDS by 2030′′. The Cynefin framework is designed to enable leaders to identif…

  • Knowledge as enablement

    Open AccessChristopher J Burman, Christopher Burman et al.ARTICLEEducational Research for Social…2016References: 5

    This article is prompted by a book called Knowledge as Enablement: Engagement Between Higher Education and the Third Sector in South Africa (Erasmus & Albertyn, 2014). Knowledge as Enablement emphasises that purposefully directed knowledge can contribute to the generation of mutually beneficial, transformative outcomes during community-university partnerships. The book introduces the notion of complexity but provides no specific examples about ho…

  • Weak signal detection

    Open AccessChristopher J Burman, Marota Aphane et al.ARTICLESAHARA-J Journal of Social…2016Cited by: 1References: 68

    INTRODUCTION: UNAIDS' Vision 90:90:90 is a call to 'end AIDS'. Developing predictive foresight of the unpredictable changes that this journey will entail could contribute to the ambition of 'ending AIDS'. There are few opportunities for managing unpredictable changes. We introduce 'weak signal detection' as a potential opportunity to fill this void. METHOD: Combining futures and complexity theory, we reflect on two pilot case studies that involve…

  • Reducing the overall HIV-burden in South Africa

    Open AccessChristopher J Burman, Marota Aphane et al.ARTICLEAfrican Journal of AIDS Research2015

    This article questions the recommendations to 'revive ABC (abstain, be faithful, condomise)' as a mechanism to 'educate' people in South Africa about HIV prevention as the South African National HIV Prevalence, Incidence and Behaviour Survey, 2012, suggests. We argue that ABC was designed as a response to a particular context which has now radically changed. In South Africa the contemporary context reflects the mass roll-out of antiretroviral tre…

  • The process of developing distributed-efficacy and social practice in the context of 'ending Aids

    Open AccessChristopher J Burman, Christopher Burman et al.ARTICLEThe Journal for Transdisciplinary…2015

    Introduction: this article reflects on data that emanated from a programme evaluation and focuses on a concept we label 'distributed-efficacy'. We argue that the process of developing and sustaining 'distributed-efficacy' is complex and indeterminate, thus difficult to manage or predict. We situate the discussion within the context of UNAIDS' recent strategy - Vision 95:95:95 - to 'end AIDS' by 2030 which the South African National Department of …

  • Expanding the prevention armamentarium portfolio

    Open AccessChristopher J Burman, Marota Aphane et al.ARTICLESAHARA-J Journal of Social…2015Cited by: 2References: 35

    The article describes a design journey that culminated in an HIV-Conversant Community Framework that is now being piloted in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. The objective of the initiative is to reduce the aggregate community viral load by building capacity at multiple scales that strengthens peoples' HIV-related navigational skill sets-while simultaneously opening a 'chronic situation' schema. The framework design is based upon a transdisc…
