My business modelling background and interests in K-12 education as a former school governor have provided many opportunities to abduce policy designs in both socio-technical and pscho-social systems. As my primary data often derives from various sources, I frequently use model-based multi-methodologies to acquire relevant data, whether induced or deduced, for integration into a dynamically-validated, causal theory. I find the shifts in paradigm help to triangulate the research focus on the issues of feedback and delay that are prevalent in social systems, among others.
