This is a high level system dynamics model which is built to determine the dynamic relationships of the FSA and Followups capacity. Therefore, it can help clinicians to find out the optimistic method in order to reduce the waiting list. At past clinicians were seeing more FSA patients, however, after few months, the followups patients overwhelmed the clinics. Therefore waiting list has been built up again. By running this model, clinicians can find out the balanced leverage point(s). New Model has been developed, this is a very draft model.

​Book (large pdf) by Alicia Juarrero subtitled intentional behavior as a complex system. Behaviour is action and change in the world, consisting of the external, mental and social world. Human action is intentional, meaningful  and hopefully effective. 

Behaviours can be:
Reactive: sense and respond
Adaptive: anticipate and learn
Generative: innovate and transform.
Which models help produce effective action?

This model is a copy based on a model created by Thorbjoen Mann 
Owner, Thorbjoern Mann Consulting for an blog article:
A topic map for a systems thinking discussion on participatory democracy created on a Systems Thinking in Action LinkedIn group discussion regarding Better Participatory Democracy Through Systems Thinking which in turn was based on two 'story' models A 'Better World' thru Systems Thinking and Participatory Democracy with Systems Thinking, and their respective blog posts.

A couple of liberties were taken with this version or interpretation. The original model did not have arrows, so it is my interpretation as to direction.  Stocks were chosen because of presentation. It does not imply quantity. Certain elements in the original model were not enclosed in boxes. These were assigned to variable primitives to differentiate them from boxed elements. The Insightmaker Folder capability was used to group what appeared to be common elements together. The Folders can be opens by clicking the + sign in each folder.
