Public utilities do not need to make a profit. They can concentrate on providing a quality service, a public good. By contrast, the primary objective of private utilities is not to provide a public good, but profit and profitability. This simple CLD tries to show the conflict that can arise from this and a hidden dynamic, a reinforcing feedback loop, that can lead to disaster. Unfortunately, there are examples where failure in infrastructure maintenance has led to disaster. On the 9th of July 2009, the German newspaper 'Welt Online' reported that the authorities in Berlin had to intervene and force the company that was running Berlin's S-Bahn (suburban rail service) to withdraw half of all the city's trains from service because they were considered unsafe! Something similar happened in the UK where failure to maintain rail tracks led to serious accidents.

Project management in an ideal world. The project has a defined scope, work rate and runs according to the initial schedule.

Schedule pressure is constant until the project is completed.

​ A STRATEGY  could be defined as a long-term goal or overriding aim.

TACTICS  could be defined as activities meant to deal with the demands of the moment guided by the pursuit of the overriding goal.

As long-term strategic goals are abstract by nature, they do not take into account local, complex issues of the movement. This makes it necessary to adapt the long-term plan via tactical short-term goals and decisions to avoid unintended consequences. The CLD suggests that this process is driven by goal-seeking feedback loops.

This model incorporates several options in examining fisheries dynamics and fisheries employment. The two most important aspects are the choice between I)managing based on setting fixed quota versus setting fixed effort , and ii) using the 'scientific advice' for quota setting  versus allowing 'political influence' on quota setting (the assumption here is that you have good estimates of recruitment and stock assessments that form the basis of 'scientific advice' and then 'political influnce' that desires increased quota beyond the scientific advice).

This model describes nitrogen cycling in a dune-lake system in the Northland region of New Zealand. It is based on stock and flow diagrams where each orange oval represents an input, while each blue box represents a stock. Each arrow represents a flow. Flows reduce the stock at which they start and add to the stock at which they end.
