Confluence Model


Systems Thinking suggests that organizations, as systems, are made up of connected parts, like a mobile hanging from the ceiling. Based upon Systems Thinking theory, if you interact with one piece of the organization, like the mobile, you will cause effects or movements through the whole system to varying degrees.

Babbage Simmel recognizes that there are three avenues, or "streams" to organizational change, and that the three are people, processes and technology. Organizations are systems, and when we affect one of these three streams of change (people, processes and technology), we impact the other two.

Through Babbage Simmel’s own unique confluence model™, the client becomes an active participant in managing the development of solutions that bring people, process and technology together. Babbage Simmel’s confluence model™ builds a close partnership that puts the client in "the driver’s seat."

Babbage Simmel representatives are specially trained to assist the client organization to voice their needs and to see those needs in relationship to the organization as a whole. Through this process, Babbage Simmel is able to develop solutions that answer varied needs, such as training, staffing, efficiency, effectiveness, decision-making, security, infrastructure, etc.

To arrange for a Babbage Simmel representative to present this process to your organization in person, contact Babbage Simmel at 1-800-288-5937.

Confluence Model

A growing number of Babbage Simmel partnerships are centered on the needs of organizations rather than originating with the needs of an individual. Organizational needs are also growing in complexity. Because organizations are systems, Babbage Simmel approaches these partnership needs with a "Systems Thinking" perspective.
