Use a savings account model to investigate the manner in which inflows and outflows govern the quantity of a stock. Extend the structure to create and investigate the relathionships of a growth producing reinforcing loop.
PCN Notes: change structure so that <time> is not needed in equation for interest, and share with Gene.

The Modelling Process
copied from: Gene Bellinger (Success to the Successful Archetype | Insight Maker)
Success to the successful archetype represents two reinforcing structures which may be in a delicate balance though as soon as one gains a small advantage the resource allocation favors the more successful and the result is then rapidly skewed in the direction of the more successful. See also
Archetypes.

Simulation model details the change in allele frequency of resistant mosquitoes when the government began spraying DDT. The few mosquitoes that naturally survived the chemical sprays reproduced, and created a large population of resistant mosquitoes. When DDT was sprayed later to prevent the spread of malaria, the DDT was not as effective because of the large amount of DDT-resistant phenotypes in the population.

An escalation structure results from two or more competing entities with the competition taking them to somewhere none of them want to be. See also Archetypes.

Causal loop diagram illustrating how evolution, in the form of small incremental change (realized through random genetic mutation) paired with natural selection, serves to evolve species.
Additionally, the diagram illustrates the countering effects of genetic drift, which serves to reduce genetic variation by eliminating beneficial genes.

- healthcare is a wonderful product; countries are spending increasing amount [of increasing GDP] on healthcare ... 20% by 2050?
- tend to apply new technologies to too many people...will become more targeted
- build on what works and fix what doesn't cf with radical model shift
- last two years of life consume most healthcare
- 1% accounts for 35% of cost [chronic conditions and how we treat dying people]
- shift to outcome based vs input [time based] or output based [procedures] ... ok at population level otherwise presumes accurate diagnosis and less co-morbidity?
- Geisinger salaried medical staff + quality bonus [rather than no. of patients treated]

copied from: Gene Bellinger (Tragedy of the Commons Archetype | Insight Maker)
A Tragedy of the Commons situation exists whenever two or more activities, each, which in order to produce results, rely on a shared limited resource. Results for these activities continue to develop as long as their use of the limited resource doesn't exceed the resource limit. Once this limit is reached the results produced by each activity are limited to the level at which the resource is replenished. See also
Archetypes.

New Learning tend to reduce Outdated Thinking, Communicating & Learning though our Outdated Thinking, Communicating & Learning inhibits new learning. The question is then how do we break this cycle. Adopted from "An Introduction to Systems Thinking with STELLA" by Barry Richmond.
