Systemic action

Abstract

We have come a long way together. The assumption at this point is that the reader has read through the first eleven chapters of this book and understands how to analyze a singular problem from each of the six perspectives presented in Chaps. 6–11. Now we are ready to take action. To this end, this chapter addresses putting the pieces back together (i.e., mess reconstruction) in order to understand our mess systemically. Two meta-perspectives, the what is and the what ought-to-be, are proposed to represent our current and idealized states. Generation of these meta-perspectives is demonstrated on the real estate example we have carried throughout the text.
