When Systems Resort to Force: A TOC Conflict Analysis of Government Coercion

About

The Evaporating Cloud is widely used to resolve conflicts in business and organizational environments. But some conflicts appear much harder to resolve — particularly those involving the use of force.

This webinar explores how the TOC Thinking Processes can be applied to analyze situations where governments resort to coercion or violence in pursuit of societal goals.

Using the proposed governmental goal “increase quality of life now and in the future” as a reference point, the session demonstrates how the Evaporating Cloud can clarify the deep conflict between freedom and collective security, reveal hidden assumptions, and identify systemic conditions under which the use of force may or may not be justified.

The webinar focuses on the thinking process itself while illustrating how TOC tools can be applied to complex societal dilemmas.
