Activity: Use causal loop diagram to represent how the system is supposed to work based on Elmore quote.  Then, according to Elmore, what is missing?  How might the model be modified to include what Elmore says is missing?

Beliefs and practices are missing in the causal loop, as indicated by the disconnected variable. Human capital (cultural and financial) is also disconnected.

Aim: To gain insight into what map and model representations in applied systems methods in IM-1267 can assist identifying and explaining the improvement strategies (leverage points) described by Donella Meadows Leverage Points Systemswiki . The context is social learning for collective action to improve real world events. Information Sources are adapted from IM-920

Illustrates moving from a Causal Loop Diagram (scroll to the right) to a stocks & flows representation.  Press Simulate to see graphs. Note that the "pulse" represents something like eating a donut and the graphs show how the body responds.  Which part of the system relates to whether someone may or may not need to take insulin?

Un diagramme de boucle causale (DBC) est un outil visuel qui permet de comprendre comment les différentes variables dans un système sont interdépendantes. Le diagramme se compose d’un ensemble de nœuds et d’arcs. Les nœuds représentent les variables; tandis que les arcs représentent les connexions, ou liens de causalités, entre les variables. Un lien causal peut être positif ou négatif. Un lien causal positif signifie que les deux nœuds vont évoluer dans le même sens. Un lien causal négatif signifie que les deux nœuds évoluent dans des directions opposées. Les cycles fermés dans le diagramme sont des éléments très importants des DBC. Un cycle fermé forme une boucle de rétroaction, qui peut être une boucle de renforcement (rétroaction positive) ou d’équilibrage (rétroaction négative). En utilisant un DBC, vous pouvez identifier les facteurs clés qui influencent le résultat que vous souhaitez analyser et comprendre comment ces facteurs interagissent les uns avec les autres. Cela peut vous aider à prendre des décisions éclairées pour améliorer la gestion de votre organisation de santé.
