I'd like 1 example (in the public domain) each of a causal loop
diagram and a stock and flow systems diagram of the company-wide
operations of a professional services firm.  It is acceptable for the
identity of the company in the diagram to be concealed or even for the
diagram to be a hypothetical (but thorough) example.  If the service firm was a
software consulting organization, all the better.

Thank you for the question. I found some quality tutorials on how to
construct these diagrams, some specific to the service industry. I
also included some actual professional diagrams that could serve as
models. Under the additional links section, I have included links to
sites that offer software that aids in constructing these models. Hope
this works for you.

This was the most topical material I could dig up. Hope it helps. Let
me know if you need any clarification.

The links offered by Anthony were related to the field of systems
dynamics.  Some of the links will prove useful to me but none was a
"thorough example" of the systemic components of a professional
services firm.

Hi kflorian-ga 

I would also need such a SD model - maybe it?s worth building one together? 

Cheers
