This paper provides some context for my paper which won the 2004 Jay Wright Forrester award. It describes the system dynamics challenges I received from a number of people and my response to them, particularly to explore the issue of mismatch in organisations between process and boundary structure. It also describes how I have been using generic archetypes in practice since publication of the original work. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
