Part 1 demonstrates Picture primitives and Links to create representations of interactions. These are made visually attractive because the Picture primitives are overlayed with images.

Thoughts on the growth of the Twitter user community presented as a causal loop diagram.

This diagram presents the valid relationships between stocks, flows, and parameters. Ghosts of Stocks, Flows, and Converters can be created as needed.

Shifting the Burden/SFD is a segment of Systems Archetypes in the Systemic Perspective Series.

This model is an attempt to map out a template for a general implementation plan or strategy for the Enabling a Better Tomorrow process for use with New Community Paradigms

Addiction Systems Archetype Stock & Flow Diagram.

Introduce the concept of modeling and simulation.

This is a model depicting the interactions of the Aesop's Fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

Balancing Loop with Stock & Flow Diagram.

Introduce the concept of modeling and simulation.

The interaction of a population of Moose and Wolves.

Clone of IM-752 map for working simulation model This model is derived from "Nobody Ever Gets Credit for Fixing Problems that Never Happened: Creating and Sustaining Process Improvement" by Nelson P. Repenning and John D Sterman. An expanded map is at IM-1918.

To develop insights regarding a situation of interest there are a number of things should be considered to ensure a view of the relevant influences.

Insight Maker is completely web based making it easy to develop and share models, allows concurrent multi-user editing, and just happens to be FREE, which a pretty good feature/price ratio.

Joe P. is currently managing a project that's behind schedule and he's experiencing substantial pressure to get the project back on track.

The model construction process is actually a balancing loop which endeavors to employ an abstract version of real events to form a model which produces conclusions and behavior which mimic the real events.

Introduce the concept of modeling and simulation.

The Home Heating System can be used to demonstrate how we get caught in dilemmas and become victims of ourselves.

Fixes that Fail Systems Archetype Causal Loop Diagram.

The Reinforcing Loop Systems Archetype is one of the two most basic Systems Archetypes. The Balancing Loop being the other one.

Influences which work in opposition to sustainable capitalism and influences that might work to further promote it.

This model is an extension of the System Thinking Certification course Network Magic Growing Pains segment and the Strategies for Enabling a Better Tomorrow model, which served as the blueprint for this model.

This model is intended to become part of an online learning platform which includes the with the Pathways to New Community Paradigms Blog, Pathways to New Community Paradigms Wiki and a number of other Internet based resources to explore what is termed here 'new community paradigms' which are a transformational change brought about by members of a community.

How we know what we know.
