This is the demo that was used in the Creating Mind Maps video.

Time Settings are used to define the simulation start time, duration, and the step size used from one calculation to another.

Examples of reinforcing and balancing loops enhanced with images to maybe them more visually engaging.

Contemplating the development of a systemic perspective.

Initial causal loop diagram for the influences leading to the acceptance of Systems Thinking.

There are a number of habits that one should practice to improve their Systems Thinking skills.

Evolving view of Systems Thinking from The Evolution of Systems Thinking by Jorge Taborga.

Some people have found it easier to communicate interactions and their implications with Connection Circles rather than Causal Loop Diagrams.

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.

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.

This Romeo and Juliet Model was adapted by Geoff McDonnell from Michael J Radzicki (1993) Dyadic processes, tempestuous relationships, and system dynamics, System Dynamic Rev. 9 (1) :79-94

Use a bathtub model to investigate the manner in which inflows and outflows govern the quantity of a stock. Extend the structure to create and investigate the relationships of a goal seeking balancing loop.

Our actions are based on our beliefs and the results of those actions are the basis for our beliefs. The difficulty we create for ourselves is that we make assumptions as to how to interpret the results we select based on our beliefs. As a result we are often operating on a flawed perspective of reality.

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

Supply and Demand tend to oscillate back and forth through Price.

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.

• 10.06.04 v1.0 created and documented by Bellinger. Initial problem with the reference mode has been fixed.

Consider the following "Sustaining the Forest" model intended to provide another example of how unexpected the behavior of a web of extended interactions can be.

Investigations into the relationships responsible for the success and failure of nations. This investigation was prompted after reading numerous references on the subject and perceiving that *Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty* by Acemoglu and Robinson seem to make a great deal of sense.

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 9781 for a simulation of this model.
