Abstract :
The rich picture technique is probably the tool most quoted to be used in describing a problem situation within Soft Systems Methodology, particularly in the academic literature. As this paper indicates, the authors´ practical experience however show that there are numerous supplementary techniques known to have been used in the agreement and expression of the current problem situation. This paper describes those tools and techniques
