Abstract: Abstract Structuring and exploring complex problems is still one of the most significant challenges in strategic decision-making and management. On the one hand, we strive to add as much rigor as possible to the analyses made, for example, through simulation models or data analyses. On the other hand, we need to stay connected with all kinds of stakeholders - an essential precondition for implementation. Following up on our earlier research, we present an approach that combines narratives, Causal Loop Diagrams, and Behavior-Over-Time Graphs to illustrate the structure, dynamic patterns and quantitative scale of the problem under study step-by-step, allowing exploration and reflection by a broad audience.
