What Does OSM Stand For?

OSM stands for Overlapping Sphere Model

The Overlapping Sphere Model (OSM) is a conceptual framework used to analyze interactions and relationships among multiple entities or systems. By representing each entity as a sphere, the model emphasizes the areas of overlap that signify shared characteristics, influences, or interactions. OSM is particularly useful in fields such as social sciences, organizational behavior, and network analysis, as it facilitates a clearer understanding of complex interdependencies and the dynamics of collaboration among diverse groups.
