From Unintended to Intended Consequences: Systems Change Framework #1213033 (License: Personal Use)

The image presents a before-and-after systems change model: the left side depicts a cycle where dominant stories and rigid structures reinforce harmful patterns, leading to unintended consequences like inequality and environmental harm; the right side shows a redesigned system where inclusive stories, adaptive structures, and regenerative patterns generate intended, equitable outcomes. Arrows indicate feedback loops and leverage points for intervention-especially at the intersection of stories, structures, and patterns.

Used in organizational development, social innovation, and public policy contexts to explain systemic change strategies; targets changemakers, nonprofits, and policymakers seeking to align interventions with desired long-term impacts.
