Ep#18 Vector's toolkit for thinking clearly (Part 6): Discussion on non-linear causality, vicious, virtuous, and balancing loops
from Counterpoint Podcast · host Vector Consulting Group
Causal reasoning behind problems in organisations can reveal a circular loop structure, where A causes B but at same time B also boomerangs back to A at some point. Some of these loops can be very "sticky", forcing an organisation to stay with the same problems for a long period.If transformation initiatives ignore the existing causal loops at play, there can be a huge waste of time and capacity. This is one of the main reasons of failure of many organisation wide #transformation initiatives.
