System mapping helps us develop a shared understanding of complex systems and can form the basis for collective action around systems change. This course walks you through what systems maps are and how to make them: https://lnkd.in/gxJa-fkN We also have a training workshop session coming up if you want to learn mapping hands on with others: https://bit.ly/3yzuqzT

"A picture is worth a thousand deceits" The parable of the Elephant was captured by West Churchman "What is interesting about this story is not so much the fate of the blind men but the magnificent role that the teller had given himself—namely, the ability to see the whole elephant and consequently observe the ridiculous behavior of the blind systems describers. The story is in fact piece of arrogance. It assumes that very logically astute wise man can always get on top of situation, so to speak, and look at the foolishness of people who are incapable of seeing the whole." For complex or wicked situations many different perspectives offer equally valid but equally incomplete views of the situation. Their value is in their separate insight which is lost in any consensus process. If the perspectives can be collapsed (as per "its a complex system") the challenge you are dealing with is one of communication between the participants and the underlying problem is simple. For truly wicked/complex problems no single view is appropriate.
And a leader who can see the elephant… and the jungle…
Systems Innovation question 1 : how do you map a very complex System?? Becoming more and more present in the reality… Question 2 : when do you make the quantum leap from systemic 1.5 toward systemic 2.0??
The displayed map is a causal loop diagram. CLDs do not capture the overall goal of the system. And they are weak at capturing the supporting activities. Therefore, it is not a system map. Note: CLDs do help to clarify some system problems, and to explore possible solutions to them.
