In A Platform for Change (1975) Stafford Beer refers to some helpful photographs and a chart that his publishers had printed inside that book's dust jacket. Several public library copies are nowadays without that jacket and the book itself appears to be out of print. This scanned image of my own copy of that chart and the accompanying photographs is imperfect but may, I hope, convey at least some impression of what the original was like.

The same author's Brain of the Firm (Classic Beer) includes a comprehensive and detailed explanation of what his "platform for change" is, and of how it works - clarifying specifically that the entire focus is on facilitating more effective individual and shared personal decisions, and NOT in any sense seeking to replace them by "computers", as some people have wrongly imagined. Copies of this newly printed to order are currently available in the U.K. at £67.20p plus £2.75p postage and packing, e.g., from amazon.co.uk.
