The same author on figure 8.1 (p. 160) defines an Iterative process for inquiry, where includes three kinds of inquiry:
1. Systems Analysis
2. Obstruction Analysis and
3. Systems Dynamics

phrase synthetize the spirit of this short essay: Joshua C. Ramo (2009) argues that “in an era defined
by instability, society must remain imminently flexible and turn disruption into a force for good”, if we see
carefully this statement, we could derive as conclusion, Mr. Ramo is talking –in fact- about Resilience of a
Society.

Las fronteras entre los países, en realidad no existen en la naturaleza, son creaciones de los seres humanos para delimitar territorios, zonas, regiones, y propiedades, y eso nos crea la falsa percepción de que podemos establecer leyes que impidan que personas con diferente forma de vivir y de ver el mundo entren a “nuestro” territorio.

Claro esta, pueden existir personas que lejos de sumar y multiplicar en las posibilidades de progreso, actuen de manera contraria y afecten negativamente la co-existencia de los habitantes, y en estos casos se deberán tomar acciones preventivas y correctivas en aras de mantener un equilibro sano dentro de la diversidad. https://novarum.mx/nmx-consultoria/metas-de-orden-superior

1. El proceso pre-electoral y electoral
2. Las elecciones
3. Y la gestión del Presidente saliente.

Ahora, el “chapulineo” se ha sofisticado, no solo es pasar de un puesto en alguna secretaría, al senado o la cámara de diputados o una presidencia municipal o gobernar algun estado, sino que también emerge la modalidad de “chapulinear”entre partidos, los del PAN, al PRI; del PRI al PRD, los del PRD a Morena, y así cualquier combinación imaginable.

¿Qué dice esto de la democracia a la mexicana?

Introduction
When the sum of the parts of a certain system is not equal to the whole (could be less or more than
the whole) such system is say, to exhibit emergent properties, ( Aron, 2010) due mainly of three
properties:
1. Interconnectedness among the parts
2. Interdependent parts
3. Feedback
These traits of a system also correspond to what Gharajedaghi calls a Multi-minded System with
interdependent variables, while Aron (2010) calls it as a Complex System.

generation of power, wealth and knowledge… In this context a social pathology is produced when an
obstruction to development benefits those who are responsible for removing it” Gharajedaghi (2011, p.81)
Introduction
The initial quote of this essay, describes in precise way the state of affairs in Mexico. Among other
social pathologies, corruptions has a preeminent presence in many social and economic activities, also
deriving benefits to a small group of people in different levels, both in public and private organizations.
During this course I have mentioned several times my purpose to design a model or template to
start and sustain the transformation of a society. Meaning by society, any group of people interacting in a
common geographical space. This concept can include from a tiny village of no more than 300 people till
a country like Mexico with a population of more the 112 million.
In order to design a purposeful transformation Dr. Beck (2011) stress the importance to define
and describe and initial and a final state, that could answer with great precision the question: “Change?:
From What to What?”. Related to this question, Gharajedaghi (2011) describes the nature of Interactive
Design which should include a Decision System and a Learning and Control loop. These elements are
graphically described on page 145, and represent a dynamic way to continuously questioning and
answering the change question: “From what to what?”

as a valid one, could imply that -by definition- any social systems are more close to a kind of non-
boundary system, since the information “boundary” –metaphorically speaking- is more like a “living”
entity, i.e. imagine a sea of information which ebb and flow continuously.
On the other hand, social systems are also multi-minded and purposeful, representing these two
traits the effect of being a collection of human-beings which also create –mostly- in an unintentionally
way, what could be called as an ethical system (Valdesuso, 2011)

What we have found in the case of government leaders, is their focus in the next election, rather in the next generation (at least!). On the other hand, the NGO’s leaders are so committed with their mission that find hard to integrate efforts with other NGO’s, leading in both cases—government and NGO’s—to fragmented actions.

This invitation was issued thanks to the diligent efforts of Catia Bernaldo de Quirós who several months before started exchanging emails with Dr. Beck and at the same time looking for funds to make this event a reality

Polanyi and Prosch (1977) at the beginning of their book: Meaning, stress the relationship between Meaning and Intellectual Freedom. If we rely on this perspective, we could derive that the Social Research is way to develop healthy societies that could aspire at the same time the integral development of both: individuals and societies. Also Crotty (1998. P11) states that “Meaning without a mind is not”, a fact that blended with the idea of intellectual freedom lead us to build open and “free” societies, “frees” as much as the laws and rules permit in a democratic society.

Partiendo de la definición de un sistema, todos esos ejemplos de Sistemas de Actividad Humana deberían contar con un propósito o fin común. ¿Por qué es importante esto?, porque de esta forma es posible medir el desempeño de un sistema.

Beck y Cowan se refieren a estos patrones de pensamiento como vMemes. El concepto de vMeme fue acuñado haciendo un paralelo con los Genes. Los genes del ser humano están estrechamente vinculados con su DNA, de igual forma podemos hablar que en los grupos humanos existen vMemes los cuales a su vez definen un DNA social. Lo que nos divide en la sociedad, no son nuestros genes, sino nuestros vMemes. Nos parecemos diferentes debido a nuestros genes; Pensamos y actuamos diferente debido a nuestros vMemes. Se puede pensar en los vMemes como amplios paradigmas orientadores, un esquema a través del cual interpretamos el mundo. Estos vMemes se dividen en ocho niveles, con la posibilidad de que unos más avanzados estén emergiendo en este preciso momento. A su vez, cada nivel tiene fases de entrada, clímax y declive.

En las empresas con las que tengo contacto a través de la consultoría, no es extraño que después de un diagnóstico inicial, entre otros muchos síntomas se repita una y otra vez la falta de planeación.
Y claro una vez reconocida la carencia de planeación en la empresa, viene la reflexión, ¿Realmente es necesario planeare después de todo "hemos vivido mucho tiempo sin darle importancia a la planeación", y si el empresario percibe que si es necesario planear, se presenta una pregunta más, ¿En que consiste la planeación?, o dicho en palabras más sencillas, ¿Cómo le hago para planear en mi empresa?.

Introduction
After reading Wang (2011) it was equivalent to find a final piece of an unconscious puzzle, which
allow me to value the importance of modeling a problem using systems dynamics concepts, as
Gharajedaghi (2011) suggest in chapter six. The same author on figure 8.1 (p. 160) defines an Iterative
process for inquiry, where includes three kinds of inquiry:
1. Systems Analysis
2. Obstruction Analysis and
3. Systems Dynamics
These and other findings and readings derived in a deep conclusion regarding the importance to
find a way to “Define a problem” but in a dynamic way, since in a VUCA environment embracing complex
systems, could be on one hand very difficult to take a “picture” to a problematic situation and freeze it as
the definition of the problem and in the other hand could be very naïve to think such problem definition
will allow the system designer or problem solver to grasp the current reality and derive alternatives for solutions.

Foreword
The purpose of this essay is to generate for the author a mental space to reflect on new elements
that could be added to a model for transforming societies. This space is flexible and with no boundaries
by design, and could be a little messy for readers.
The author wrote several rhetorical questions in order to look for ways to bring to the surface his own
assumptions and increase the odds to enrich the model he is developing without (or the less possible)
preconceive mental models.

De no existir dicha condición, como sería el caso de un exceso de demanda o de proteccionismo tendría poco sentido a menos que se derive de un plan estratégico a través del cual se identifique un futuro altamente competido. Las empresas en nuestro país por años no tuvieron la necesidad de competir abiertamente en un mercado global, hoy las condiciones han cambiado de tal forma que el evaluar las ventajas competitivas ha dejado de ser una opción para convertirse en una verdadera necesidad: La necesidad de sobrevivir.
