System Archetypes Success to the Successful

In the model "system achetypes" (https://imodeler.info/ro?key=AWmcYVpCac1lRUJaRxmTz7Q) we have explained different system archetypes, which are describing common patterns of behavior in all kind of organizations or systems. For this, we have used simple examples - mainly based on the work of Peter Senge (Literature: Peter Senge et. al., The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook, 1994).

Peter Senge documented the most common set of patterns of behavior in organizations that have the tendency of reoccurring. These patterns almost always result in negative consequences due to mismanaging complex problems. Maybe, you will catch yourself by studying these patterns :-)

In the overview of the model you will find the most common set of system archetypes structured as clusters in a family tree (see figure above).

Here, we would like to present one of the above mentioned system archetypes. Have fun & happy modeling.

System Archetype Success to the Successful - short description:

The Success to the Successful archetype describes the common practice of rewarding good performance with more resources in the expectation that performance will continue to improve. There is a belief that the successful (people, departments, products, etc.) have “earned” their increasing share of resources through past performance. The potential downside to this assumption is the continued under-performance of people, departments or products that perform at their current level through no intrinsic lack of skill or capability.

Results of our example:

A business woman is spending more and more of her time at work resulting in a higher appreciation of her work and a lower happiness at home.
