Schritt 1What exactly are we observing right now and how do we know that it is relevant?
STEP 1 — Understand the problem
First, focus on the observed symptom and context before discussing solutions.

Canvas for diagnosis: CATWOE Analysis
A checklist tool from Soft Systems Methodology for decoding the competing worldviews and interests behind a conflict situation.
Use this method to systematically make patterns visible and structure decisions.
Diagnostic workflow
These steps lead from observing a symptom to a grounded intervention.

Schritt 2What dynamics creates and sustains the behavior?
STEP 2 — Analyze system dynamics
Move from individual observations to the deeper dynamics, boundaries, and roles involved.
Schritt 3Which intervention changes the structure rather than just the symptom?
STEP 3 — Derive interventions
Now derive measures that address structure, rules or information flows.
