WHAT IS THE VALUE OF A SYSTEM MAP?
A system map can show the flow/direction of certain things (such as information, people, money, a natural resource, etc.) as they move through the system. They allow us to view a system holistically and consider this perspective to identify new insights about how and why certain outcomes within a system are produced, or where there may be opportunities for intervention.
