Add to ORKGCombinations of problem structuring methods with hard OR methodologies are seldom described in the literature. This chapter reflects on the barriers to such combinations that can be seen at the philosophical level - paradigm incommensurability - and cognitive level - type of personality and difficulty of switching paradigm. The chapter examines the combination of soft systems methodology and discrete-event simulation within an intermediate care case study
