Butterfly Framework of Complex Human Systems

Thanks to Vicky Schubert and Anne Starr for presenting this Butterfly Framework to BFR members in Dec. 2014;  kudos to Steve Ober and SOL friends for helping to develop the framework.



In the workshop we identified the many tools that we all use, and placed them on the butterfly diagram according to the siting of the intervention - whether we're intervening at the business level, dealing with mental models, or feelings, etc.  You can make out some of the post-its; down below is a text listing of the models.

Survey of Tools BFR Participants Use to Help the System See Itself
(I've placed these tools more or less where they were placed on the framework with the understanding that many of these tools are used at multiple systemic levels and there is a lot of overlap)
