Developing a strategy for dealing with a situation begins with a description of the situation and the preferred state for today, not in some distant future, and the perceived implications of not doing anything. There is a also a video for this insight.

All you wanted to do was put a bird feeder in your yard to attract birds and make for a more pleasant morning. And...

There are about a dozen known systems archetypes with an interesting set of relationships among them. Watch Video

Introduce the concept of modeling and simulation.

We create the future as a result of the manner in which we choose to engage with situations which concern us. There is a also a video for this insight which is a component of the Effective Problem Solving Course.

A goal seeking structure with delay can be responsible for behavior that's quite difficult to intuit. There is also a video for this insight with is a component of the Systems Archetypes Course.

There are limits to what one can infer from a qualitative model.

This is a summary version of the Enabling a Better Tomorrow  model which presents the essence of the overall model though not all the detailed pieces. It was created as a way to get a quick sense of all the pieces at once.
