Who are the major players, what are their roles and interests?
Consider the system under consideration:
What is the relationship between supply and demand of shrimp?
What is the relationship between the major players? What feedback (balancing and reinforcing) is there between their interactions?
Draw a causal loop diagram and/or behavior over time graph to show these relationships.
Develop and explain what is going in this system and why the observed problems are occurring.
How would you engage the stakeholders at the joint meeting?
What story can you tell? What level of detail is necessary?
How would you facilitate the workshop?
How would you use the systems thinking tools, if at all?
What regulations, interventions, or best practices would you suggest for improving long term sustainability of this industry?
