Impact Analysis
Actions and Behaviors have Consequences. Consequences are impacts.
Actions are what we do and Behaviors are how we do what we do.
What we do includes what we bring (resources), who we hire, where we live, where we work, for how long, with whom and so on. These are factors identified through the program analysis of Critical Detail Mapping.
Behaviors are how we do all of the things we do. How do we bring in goods or services, how do we hire and work with our local partners and staff, how do we live in whatever community we choose and how do we choose to live there, how do we work on a daily basis, and so on. Most important of all is how we treat people.
Any intervention involves both Actions and Behaviors.
The results of Actions and Behaviors are impacts. Impacts on social dynamics are more important than mere physical impacts. We understand social dynamics through attention to changes in the context using Dividers and Connectors Analysis. We understand impacts through tracking the patterns of Action and Behavior. There are two ways that interventions have an impact.
Interventions have an impact through Resource Transfers and interventions have an impact through the Messages sent by behavior.

Hi my loved one! I wish to say that this post is amazing, great written and come with almost all significant infos. I would like to see extra posts like this .
After I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now every time a remark is added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Is there any method you can take away me from that service? Thanks!
Hey there! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to fix this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share. Thank you!
Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My site covers a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
At this time it looks like BlogEngine is the preferred blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
