The Spheres of Systems Change model illustrates different dimensions of change within a system (the spheres) and how changes dynamically interact across those dimensions. It encourages you to be aware of cause and effect relationships within and between each of the spheres, responding and adapting to those changes as you move through them.

We call it ‘Cake Rocket Child’ because the original version, which the below is adapted from, compared the characteristics of three different types of problems (simple, complicated, and complex) with three examples:

• baking a cake (simple problem)

• sending a rocket to the moon (complicated problem)

• raising a child (complex problem)
