Generic System Archetype Patterns and System Archetypes Discussions
One of the most important skills in systems thinking is the ability to recognize and explain how generic system archetype patterns relate to everyday systems behaviors. To help you build that skill, read the following articles. Then, in your ePortfolio: (1) identify at least two examples of real world systems that youve encountered in your professional or personal life (disguising all names and organizations); (2) sketch out a systems diagram for each one; and (3) identify the archetype(s) that underlie the core systems interrelationships.
Then, post at least one example in Discussions and engage with your peers by asking questions of their examples, and responding to questions about your example(s).
