Shifting the Burden

The Shifting the Burden systems archetype starts with a problem symptom that prompts a quick fix. While this immediate solution provides temporary relief, it often diverts attention from the root cause, which then weakens over time. This creates a cycle where the quick fix seems like the only solution, driven by emotional tension. In contrast, addressing the fundamental cause, driven by creative tension, leads to more sustainable and effective solutions. The goal of using this model is to focus on these fundamental solutions.
