Leverage points in a system can be defined as points of power and opportunities for change. But before you apply leverage points, you need a good understanding of the system model and its behaviors to avoid the pitfalls of pushing change in the wrong direction.

In prior modules, you focused on problem analysis through system modeling and system behavior analysis. Now, you will focus on how you can effect change in a system through the application of leverage points.

Using traffic congestion in urban areas and healthy work-life balance from your catalog, identify for each problem three leverage points that could be applied to effect change in the system and explain what you believe will be the impact of applying the leverage point. Do not use your final project problem for this task.

Using traffic congestion in urban areas and healthy work-life balance from your catalog, identify for each problem three leverage points that could be applied to effect change in the system and explain what you believe will be the impact of applying the leverage point.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

• Identify recommended interventions. Specifically, identify leverage points that can be used to modify the system, explain how they would be applied to the system, and describe the possible impacts of each.
• Evaluate the likely effects of your recommended interventions using specific evidence that supports your interpretation. To what extent might there be unintended consequences and how might they be mitigated?
•
