Kim put forward very interesting questions:

And my only reflection after showing SD to executives is that people do not want 
complex solutions, they want just solutions!!! And most of the business arena's 
solutions are solutions: simple, clear and easy to apply.

Perhaps what we are missing in SD is to make complexity simpler to people... Or 
we should take the road suggested by Jay Forrester: to teach people to think in 
terms of complex problems with multiple feedback loops so they can appreciate 
our solutions.
