Event-level focus

Focusing on events without considering the underlying cause. This creates a reactive approach, failing to anticipate and influence future events.

Short-lived event solutions

Solutions designed only to address specific events are often temporary and fail to address the root cause of the problem.

Fundamental structure

The fundamental system or structure that causes the events. Focusing only on events ignores the underlying cause.

Altering the fundamental structure

Understanding and addressing the root cause of events, allowing for proactive responses and sustainable solutions.
