When A affects B and B affects A you have a system that can amplify or stabilize itself.
Identify the reinforcing and balancing loops that maintain current organizational behavior. Every persistent organizational pattern — whether desirable or undesirable — is maintained by feedback loops. Reinforcing loops amplify behavior: success breeds more success, failure breeds more failure, growth accelerates growth, decline accelerates decline. Balancing loops constrain behavior: as a variable grows, corrective forces push it back toward equilibrium. Understanding which loops are operating and how they interact is essential for predicting how the system will respond to intervention — and for designing interventions that create new loops rather than fighting existing ones.
