REPLY Society Strategy Development (SD7088)

[SDMAIL Jay Forrester]

It seems to me that the discussion in this thread has drifted away form 
the subject.  There has been much abstract musing about social change 
and the difficulty of creating change.

However, as I see it, the Society is not resisting change.  Rather the 
challenge is defining the future of system dynamics and the Society. 
When we have a clear picture of the desired future for  the Society and 
the field of system dynamics, then there could be a concrete discussion 
of how to achieve that future. 

For now, we should be focusing on the kind of future that we desire to 
create.
