Systems Archetype Basics: From Story to Structure

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Does your organization make the same mistakes over and over again, without being able to get a grip on the cause? If so, a systems archetype might be at work behind the scenes! The archetypes depict the recurring "stories" that often indicate imbalance in a system. Working with these tools can help individuals and teams surface their mental models, communicate the "story," and engage in creative dialogue about the entire system. Written by top authors in the field, this workbook brings you the latest thinking about the archetypes--and provides plenty of practice using them. Familiarize yourself with eight classic archetypes, such as "Fixes That Fail" and "Limits to Success," by working step-by-step through vivid examples, illustrations, and exercises. Additional activities, potential responses, a handy "archetypes at a glance" chart, and a glossary of terms complete your learning experience. Ideal for self-study or group practice, Systems Archetype Basics will give you the confidence and skill to start putting your knowledge to work.
