An example of why it's so critical to understand where the boundaries are when considering a system. (developed from Eric Wolstenholme's Archetype examples by Gene Bellinger).
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.
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.
A Fixes that Fail structure is one where the applied fix makes things better for a while and then things go awry. There is a also a video for this insight which is a component of the Systems Archetypes Course.
Based on a sound realization of reality we need an effective approach to dealing with situations which promotes the requisite understanding to develop a strategy that deals appropriately with the situation. A strategy which also is explicitly designed to minimize unintended consequences and puts in place responses to them should they arise.
This model is based the the New Learning Inhibited/Breaking the Cycle model http://insightmaker.com/insight/7018 It expands upon that model and integrates to a greater extent some of the concepts raised by Argyris, "Teaching Smart People How To Learn"
A Fixes that Fail structure is one where the applied fix makes things better for a while and then things go awry. There is a also a video for this insight which is a component of the Systems Archetypes Course.
Whenever there are two interacting goal seeking structures which provide goals for each other there is the potential of creating oscillations because of the inherent delays in the structure. There is a also a video for this insight which is a component of the Systems Archetypes Course.
