Doug BelshawThird and final post in my series about mental models during a polycrisis.
This ones about why some organisations manage to rethink their shared mental models, and others stay stuck with yesterday’s assumptions.
CRMunozWorkplaces are open systems: they exchange people, information, emotion, and meaning with the world outside their walls.
I wrote an essay about what happens when societal tension enters the workplace—and how leaders can respond with structure (project management), empathy (design thinking), and awareness of feedback loops (systems thinking).

U-Model | Σ→ΩCODE-CREDO-RIGHTS model: successful constitutions balance structural integrity (Form), contextual values (Position) and robust freedoms (Action). USA (0.79), Switzerland (0.82). Failing states: under U-Score 0.618. More: https://osf.io/74xgr/files/osfstorage #UModel #SystemsThinking #Complexity #Science
Constitutions need more than just laws. A stable nation requires a balance of Code, Credo, and Rights. Neglecting any pillar leads to systemic instability, as proven by the U-Model's analysis of 15+ constitutions. #UModel #SystemsThinking #Science
U-Score insights: Theranos: U=cbrt(0.2*1*1)=0.58. Quibi: U=cbrt(1*0.3*1)=0.67. WeWork: U=cbrt(1*1*0.3)=0.67. Threshold: 0.618. U-Model predicts these failures. Explore the U-Model: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/74XGR #UModel #SystemsThinking #Science
A (Action): Execution flaws are fatal. WeWork: Uncontrolled expansion, unsustainable practices (A=0.3). Action without discipline destroys. Dynamics must align with strategy. Process determines survival. #UModel #SystemsThinking #Complexity
P (Position): Timing is everything. Quibi: Short-form video, wrong moment (P=0.3). Bad Position makes even good ideas irrelevant. Context matters: environment, market, resources. Right product, wrong time: failure. #UModel #SystemsThinking #Complexity
F (Form): Identity crisis kills. Theranos: revolutionary blood tests never materialized (F=0.2). Flawed Form dooms systems. Structural integrity is non-negotiable. A startup's core value must be solid and deliverable. #UModel #SystemsThinking #Complexity
Why do 90% of startups fail? U-Model reveals a triadic trap: Form, Position, and Action. Each pillar must exceed 0.618 for stability. Miss one, and the venture crumbles. Let's diagnose failures through the U-Model lens. #UModel #SystemsThinking #Science
