A Methodological Framework for Systems Thinking and Modelling (ST&M) Interventions

This paper discusses a methodological framework for systems thinking and modelling interventions. The methodology includes five major phases: problem structuring; causal loop modelling; dynamic modelling; scenario planning and modelling; and implementation and organisational learning. These phases each involve a number of steps. However, each systems intervention does not require all the phases and steps to be undertaken. Rather which phases and steps are included depends on the issues or problems that have generated the systems enquiry, and the degree of effort that the organisation is prepared to commit to the intervention. Cases are provided to illustrate applications of the methodology.
