It's now time for the stakeholders to take the investigation resulting from leverage and craft a strategy which will address the current situation in a manner that is beneficial to the whole system.
Purpose: Employ the Mono Lake model adapted from "Modeling the Environment" by Andrew Ford as a basis for developing a set of guidelines to support asynchronous multi-user model development.
Mono Lake is an ancient inland sea on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada. From a policy point of view Mono Lake is the story of how a handful of people began a campaign to save a dying lake
Causal loop diagrams are more rigorous than rich pictures though are still only contain a very few elements with well defined rules for connecting them.
This Savings Model is the third in the series. It illustrates the difference in savings over time for a doctor or for a skilled worker who went to a trade school.

The numerous Systems Archetypes popularized by Peter Senge, Pegasus Communications, and others seem to be the source of great confusion for many. In response to this Eric Wolstenholme has endeavored to simplify the System Archetypes by mapping them to four generic archetypes.
The model starts in 1900. In the year 2000 you get the chance to set a new emission target and nominal time to reach it. Your aim is to have atmospheric CO2 stabilize at about 400 ppmv in 2100. From Sterman, John D. (2008) Risk Communication on Climate: Mental Models and Mass Balance. Science 322 (24 October): 532-533.
When the typical approach doesn't work we tend to rely on our tried and true problem solving approaches, which as you will see really aren't that good.
A Systems Archetype has a very well defined structure that produces a characteristic pattern of behavior and there are well defined strategies for dealing with the structure.
In this piece, we explore the counter intuitive nature of systems where the best of intentions to address the homelessness situation using the most expedient approach is likely to make things even worse.
Imagine you've been given the responsibility for managing a project that's behind schedule and experiencing substantial pressure to get the project back on track. What are your options.
There exists a well defined set of possible ways to alter an existing set of interactions. Each of these alterations will produce a particular effect depending on the relations the change is relative to. Identifying which are possible and which will migrate the interactions to produce the desired situation is the essence of the strategy.
