When structure determines behavior

System dynamics are when structure determines behavior and there are time delays
and absences of feedback/balancing loops. For this assignment, you will discuss a
situation where there is dynamic complexity, as well as completing a causal diagram of
the situation.
o Discuss an example of dynamic complexity that you have experienced at
work. Be specific.
o Describe which of Senge’s criteria this event meets to be considered
“dynamic complexity.”
o Discuss the interrelationships. Address how each major element of the
system impacts the other elements and the performance of the system.
o Explain how the structure of the system impacts its behavior.
o Describe how you would alter the current structure to improve system
performance.
o Draw a causal loop diagram of this situation. Include balancing and/or
feedback loops. Make sure you discuss the role balancing loops play in
your narrative.
