Has anyone ever seen/created a tool or canvas using Donella Meadows leverage points, which is designed to help people think about different places to intervene in a system?

Open Resources
Resources — Radical Childcare Systems Lab
Openness has always been a key principle of our ecosystem, from 00 ventures through to Impact Hub Birmingham and #RadicalChildcare because it is vital for work to become stronger and spread, shorten the feedback cycle. It enables many to test implementations and creates opportunities beyond what we could even imagine. We try to be as open as we possibly can at every stage, and we don’t want our work to be binary, but a start point.
We feel it’s better to have a vision to hack, iterate and critique and build better than to complain about the system without re-imagining together what it could too, so this is an open invitation to use and download the resources to make your work stronger, better and broader. We hope these values will be reciprocal, and where you feel we might be able to support your work, or if it’s appropriate to credit, please do. We all stand on the shoulders of many people’s work, and no one person, organisation or solution sill tackle these complex challenges alone.

A central assumption in most ecological models is that the interactions in a community operate only between pairs of species. However, the interaction between two species may be fundamentally changed by the presence of others. Although interactions among three or more species, called higher-order interactions, have the potential to modify our theoretical understanding of coexistence, ecologists lack clear expectations for how these interactions shape community structure. Here, we analytically predict and numerically confirm how the variability and strength of higher-order interactions affect species coexistence. We found that, as higher-order interaction strengths become more variable across species, fewer species coexist, echoing the behavior of pairwise models. If inter-specific higher-order interactions become too harmful relative to self-regulation, coexistence was destabilized, but coexistence was also lost when these interactions were too weak and mutualistic effects became prevalent. Last, we showed that more species rich communities…

Effectiveness of systemic coaching and consulting in the context of work and organizationsThomas BachmannJohannes LoermannGoal: In the course of the legal recognition of systemic therapy in Germany in 2019, the question of the effectiveness of systemic interventions in the context of work and organizations also arises. Systemic coaching and consulting already looks back on a long tradition and an extensive body of theory and methods. Systemic organizational consulting, constellation work, systemic coaching, and team development, among others, are established formats. Nevertheless, the state of research on their effectiveness is insufficiently ¬elaborated.The Systemic Society (“Systemische Gesellschaft”- SG) and in cooperation with German Society for Systemic Therapy, Counseling and Family Therapy ¬(“Deutsche Gesellschaft für Systemische Therapie, Beratung und Familientherapie”- DGSF) commissioned artop – Institute at the Humboldt University of Berlin – to conduct a pilot study on the effectiveness of systemic formats in work and organizational contexts. In this study, the current state of effectiveness research is to be documented and reviewed, and perspectives and possibilities for further research projects are to be identified.

Systems Thinking Ontario – 2022-03-14
March 14 (the second Monday of the month, besides being Commonwealth Day in Canada that isn’t a statutory holiday!) is the 98th meeting for Systems Thinking Ontario. The registration is at https://entropy-systems-thinking.eventbrite.ca .
Entropy, the second law of thermodynamics, is foundational to the systems sciences. Since the field aims for isomorphies (i.e. patterns that apply across many disciiplines), a variety of interpretations of entropy can create a lot of confusion!
David L. Hawk, in his 2019 book, remarks:
“Entropy, something I had no idea about when first told, then began to understand it on second encounter, then knew I would never understand it when I met it the third time. Then, not being able to ever get over it on fourth encounter.” [….]
“For Einstein, then Steven Hawking, the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics was sacrosanct. [,,,,] Many leading scientists have gone deeper in arguing why they agree with Einstein, then Hawking, and feel so strongly about entropy is a supreme law of nature and must be factored into what humans do.”
With this caution, David Hawk has agreed to guide us towards some understanding of entropy, and how it shapes (or misshapes!) the human condition.
The pre-reading list, below, has been annotated, to encourage participants to gain some familiarity in advance of the interactive discussion.
