Example of using Pulse function to create a recurring delay.

This model is derived from the paper "Nobody Ever Gets Credit for Fixing Problems that Never Happened: Creating and Sustaining Process Improvement" by Nelson P. Repenning and John D Sterman. See Insight 752 for a causal loop version of this model.

The goal seeking structure endeavors to bring a balance between a current state and a desired state. This is one of the two foundation archetypes. The other being the growth structure. See also Archetypes.

Population Growth in an Agrarian Society with the addition of agriculture.

There are about fifteen known archetypes with an interesting set of relationships among them.

Yesterday's actions are responsible for the world we experience today. And today's actions are responsible for the world that we will experience tomorrow. The "Creating the Future" model is intended to provide a better sense of the common process associated with the unexpected unfolding of the future..

While these pictures represent very different things there is a common essence.

​One of the most important considerations for any business is the development of a strategy for continued existence and future growth. Sustainable business requires identification and development of a competitive advantage that is recognizable by potential customers and transforms them into actual customers.

All the following have a common characteristic.

When endeavoring to develop an understanding of the nature of something it is generally useful to create a model of some type to aid in surfacing that understanding.

And what can we learn from this situation?

This is the demo project used for the 19.05.21 introduction to Insight Maker Simulation internet session.
