The '''twelve leverage points to intervene in a system''' were proposed by [[Donella Meadows]], a scientist and system analyst focused on environmental limits to economic growth.
== History == The leverage points, first published in 1997, were inspired by her attendance at a [[North American Free Trade Agreement]] (NAFTA) meeting in the early 1990s where she realized that a very large new system was being proposed but the mechanisms to manage it were ineffective. Meadows, who worked in the field of [[systems analysis]], proposed a scale of places to intervene in a [[system]]. Awareness and manipulation of these levers is an aspect of [[self-organization]] and can lead to [[collective intelligence]].
