How to Change Complex Systems ($20)

About

"Before I didn't have a way of defining and analyzing the situation, but now I have a plan for spending the same effort to multiply the impact to 10X." - Malik, Middle East

Tools to map a complex system tend to be limited by one of three factors: 

(1) Not comprehensive: SWOT Analysis is the most popular tool, but it tends to overlook human nature, which typically is at the centre of system malfunctions.

(2) Not intuitive: Systems Mapping is comprehensive, but it tends to be too difficult for teams to use with its engineering-like models of stocks, flows, and feedback loops.

(3) Not practical: We think that if we have a list of all the issues then somehow that tells us what the priority should be. No, it gives you a list. 

Mindset Mapping is a new tool that puts human nature at the centre, simplifies complex systems, and gives actionable insight. In a simple, three step model it will help you discern the flywheels of a system - the small, almost imperceptible behaviours that reinforce your vicious cycle and how to turn it into a virtuous cycle. Mindset Mapping will help you understand how to change your family system, your organization, and even your country.
