Abstract
A problematique is a graphical portrayal, constructed to rigorous specifications, of a particular aspect of complexity which arises in a problematic situation. It is produced using the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM). This paper discusses the two different types of problematiques, highlights the frequency of cycles, the usefulness of problematiques when approaching complex problems, and the overall inadequacy of prose when it comes to describing complexity.
