  1. Introduction to Systems Thinking By Chandra S & Vignesh R

    – TITANSOFT Based on Riichiro Oda System Thinking Workshop in Singapore April 2019
  2. My own explanation about system thinking A systematic way to

    understand how system work by observing: 1. Relation between each component. 2. Believe/Policies that affecting each decision. 3. Pattern observed over time
  3. Serious Production Bug. Fish depletion. What has influence the pattern?

    What are the assumptions, beliefs, and values?
  4. 7 Fishing companies One Goal • Making $$$ Fishing Area

    • Shared Area Starting Point • 2010 • Start with 4 Fish ships Facts Known • Fish growth population rate. • Shipping Cost

  6. Ice Berg: Structure of the System. Tools: Causal Loop Diagram.

    A causal loop diagram (CLD) is a causal diagram that aids in visualizing how different variables in a system are interrelated.
  7. • More ships – More Fishes – More money •

    Everyone also buys more ships. • This fish ecosystem won’t last longer – Less Ship/Fishing – Less Cost
  8. If we think each system as a story, system archetypes

    are the classical stories that we keep seeing over and over again.
  9. • Accidental Adversaries • Balancing Loop • Drifting Goals •

    Escalation • Fixes That Fail • Growth and Underinvestment • Limits to Success • Reinforcing Loop • Shifting the Burden • Success to the Successful • Tragedy of the Commons
  10. • Limit you’re the number of ships. • Monopolize the

    sea • Create your own fish farming.
  11. Recap • What is system thinking? • Iceberg Model •

    Events • Behavior over time • Causal Loop Diagram • Mental models • System Archetypes
  12. Our advice • Take it slow • Practice, practice, practice

    • Seek to understand your own mental model • Validate intervention with model
