Up::0Origin and theoretical basis of causal loop diagrams ?
Please can members comment about the provenance of this mapping tool ?
Here are some references that I’ve found
(1921 reference – early construction of directed graph models of cause and effect – path analysis ) Wright, S. “Correlation and causation” Journal of Agricultural Research
(1963 reference – apparently the first published, formal use of a causal loop diagram to describe a feedback system) Maruyama-Second Cybernetics
(2001 reference – provides some background) Cybernetics and Second-Order Cybernetics
(2004 reference – provides some background) Second‐order Cybernetics: An Historical Introduction
Up::0Use of the mapping tools GERT and VERT ?
Please can members comment about the current popularity of these tools ?
Are they used much these days, or have they been superceded by other tools ?
Here are two references that I’ve found useful
(1978 reference) GERT analysis – graphical evaluation and review technique (pmi.org)
(2016 reference) The use of a GERT based method to model concurrent product development processes – ScienceDirect
