Understanding a system’s momentum can give you an opportunity to steer it toward the positive outcome you are hoping for. Just by the nature of stocks being present in systems, inflows and outflows are allowed to be independent from one another, and even out of balance with each other. People continually observe stocks so they can decide the action they need to take in order to adjust the level of stocks and ensure that they are in acceptable ranges. Systems thinkers are always studying this feedback.
