Systems Mapping

Arranges components, relationships, and flows into a system picture that exposes dependencies and levers.

Core question: Which components are inside this system from the chosen perspective, and what remains in its environment?

Facilitation

Stakeholder Mapping

Arranges influence, interest, and relationships into a working map that makes engagement and risks transparent.

Core question: Which actor groups are affected or influential here, what assumptions apply, and how will they participate?

Decision Making

Force Field Analysis

Pits driving and restraining forces against each other to deliberately derive change levers and interventions.

Core question: Which driving and restraining forces sustain the current state, and where can a responsible intervention work?

Business Strategy

McKinsey 7S

Clarifies starting point, opportunities, and strategic options by framing the scope and target state, capturing the seven elements, and deriving change actions.

Future Reality Tree

Tests a planned change against desired effects and uncovers side effects, assumptions, and weak points.

Core question: Will the proposed injection causally produce desired effects, and which negative branches need protection before implementation?

Intervention Mapping

Links problem, target group, determinants, and actions into an actionable change program with evaluation.

Core question: How do we systematically translate an evidenced health or behaviour problem into theory- and evidence-based change objectives, intervention, implementation, and evaluation?

Leverage Points

Moves relationships, patterns, and leverage toward a concrete result through "introduce the twelve leverage points", "collect planned actions", and "formulate a strategy across multiple levers".

Core question: At which place in the system can a small justified change sustainably influence behaviour?

Architecture

SAAM (Software Architecture Analysis Method)

Uses concrete tasks to show how well an architecture supports use and change.

Core question: What changes do our planned tasks require, and how do the architecture alternatives differ?
