Map the Ecosystem

Identify power holders and systems that enable or resist this change.

• Who is inside this change? Who is affected?

• Where does formal authority sit vs. real influence?

• Which actors have veto power, explicit or informal?

• What past change efforts left scar tissue here?

Flag: Who is missing from the table entirely?

Distinguish espoused values from lived norms and behaviors.

• What do people say the culture is vs. what they do?

• What behaviors are rewarded officially vs. unofficially?

• What gets whispered when leadership leaves the room?

• How does power distance shape dissent?

Flag: Whose norms are treated as the default?

Disaggregate findings to identify specific structural barriers.

• Which populations are furthest from the goal, and why?

• What structural conditions explain the performance gap?

• Is the barrier structural (rules) or social (bias)?

• What would it take for the furthest group to succeed?

Population	Structural Barrier	Correction

Architect multiple pathways for shared goal completion.

• What behavior change is required, from whom?

• What reinforcers (formal/informal) must shift?

• How do we scale the transformative corrections?

• How will we know if change is stuck in formal structures?
