Systems thinking: A journey with cultural patterns

A journey can be a powerful metaphor, for likely we can ...

... open space for envisioning our businesses or projects as a vehicle to get to a desired state as Jerry Weinberg does in his cultural patterns Software Quality Management part 4 , appendix C

Oblivious culture: walking -> when we want to go somewhere, we just stand up and go.
Variable culture: riding a horse -> when we want to go somewhere, we saddle up and ride ... if the horse cooperates.
Routine culture: a train -> when we want to go somewhere, we find a train, which has large capacity and is very efficient ... if we go where the tracks are. Off the tracks we're helpless.
Steering culture: a van -> we have a large choice of destinations, but we must generally stay on mapped roads, and we must be steered to stay on the road.
Anticipating culture: an airplane -> when going somewhere we can travel fast, reliably, and anywhere there's a field, but going this way requires a large initial investment.
Congruent culture: starship enterprise -> when going somewhere, we can go where no one has gone before, we can carry anything and we can beam ourselves anywhere, but this is all science fiction, or is it?

... conceptualize and communicate complex ideas about a process or interaction in agile ways.
... articulate encountered problems as challenging obstacles to find our way around or through.
