  • Description: Nancy closed her folder and smiled as the other members of the facilities committee left the meeting room. She was proud to be on this team, which finally solved a major problem at her small university -- new housing for graduate students. The students were going to get modern apartments, the school would get more students, and the town would get more jobs. Everyone was going to be happy. Still smiling, Nancy got up and headed toward the cafeteria for a latte. Then Nancy woke up. What a nightmare. The past two years had been spent putting out one fire after the other -- and the problem they thought was resolved remained, and in some ways, had become even bigger. One reason the committee members didn't see how multiple issues were interconnected is that people tend to overlook that they function in a system -- coordinated parts for accomplishing a set of goals.
