This model is intended to profile the relevant stakeholders, their responsibilities and apparent motivations.

This is a revised version of the Insight Maker Model 605  Jackson's System of Systems Methodology (SOSM) framework for New Community Paradigms

A quick set of examples for creating a simulation in Insight Maker.

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

This model introduces the S/O and +/- notation for depicting the relations that might exist between two elements along with why the +/- notation is preferred.

To this point the Situation, Behavior, Model, Stakeholder and Boundary aspects of this situation have been investigated. It is now appropriate to consider the assumptions that have been made to this point and ensure we are on a solid foundation before proceeding to the Leverage and Strategy aspects are considered.

A representation of the initial perception of the situation associated with Big Box Distribution and it's overly lengthy average accounts receivable.

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.

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

This model identifies the boundaries and responsibilities of the various relevant stakeholders.

This model incorporates the Accounts Payable Examples revised from the STW/STiA Certification program for use with New Community Paradigms

Clone of the Systems Thinking Certification program Leverage model. 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.

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.
