The Accidental Adversaries structure represents a situation where two interacting entities which should produce growth unwittingly limit the growth of each other because of their actions to promote their own growth.

This model depicts the interactions of Aesop's Fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

The relationship, as described in the model Influence and Concern, insightmaker.com/insight/22757/Influence-Concern  can be flipped when speaking of institutions of political or economic power. A government institution may have a great deal of power, though not necessarily understanding, over a system but little Concern as to its particular outputs or lack of outputs.
