Introduce the concept of modeling and simulation.

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.

Jackson's System of Systems Methodology (SOSM) framework presents a construct that enables one to begin to make sense of the broad array of approaches that claim to embrace the Systems Thinking paradigm.

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

Part 2 demonstrates labeling of links as well as putting elements of the model in a folder. A number of previously developed models are also presented to provide an idea of what's possible.

A Tragedy of the Commons situation exists whenever two or more activities, each, which in order to produce results, rely on a shared limited resource. Results for these activities continue to develop as long as their use of the limited resource doesn't exceed the resource limit. Once this limit is reached the results produced by each activity are limited to the level at which the resource is replenished. As an example, consider multiple departments with an organization using IT resources, until they've exhausted IT capacity.

The Reinforcing Loop Systems Archetype is one of the two most basic Systems Archetypes. The Balancing Loop being the other one.

A Limits to Growth Systems Archetype consists of a Reinforcing Loop, the growth of which, after some success, is offset by the action of a Balancing Loop.

When one undertakes to create a model there are a number of guidelines that are considered essential for consideration if there is to be a success with the model.

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.

The Home Heating System can be used to demonstrate how we get caught in dilemmas and become victims of ourselves.

Borrowed from STW/STiA Certification program to help develop insights regarding situations of interest to New Community Paradigms. There are a number of things should be considered to ensure a view of the relevant influences.

Once the strategy has been developed it's up to the Stakeholders who own the segments of the revised model to implement it so a new pattern of behavior is created thus effecting the desired situation.
