Abstract

How can one find out what decisions to make or what to do to really influence the behavior of some social system? Expressing a problematic dynamic in the language of SFD is certainly a first step but not sufficient for any kind of change. When leaders at the G7 Summit (2015) decided that decarbonization of the global economy over the course of this century is needed, saying it alone won’t make it happen. When a board of director sets out a strategic direction, this does not by itself become reality. History is full of management decisions never manifest, whether they were strategies in companies or policies in governments. Wishes, intentions, or goals framed as managerial or political decisions do not change a social system’s dynamics.
