Problem Identification
With our dynamic principles we can assist you in developing a clear and precise problem statement.
Causal Mapping
We can work with your experts to quickly develop a logical causal map of your problem in terms that will be identifiable by people throughout your organization.
Computer Simulation
We can build a computer simulation model that incorporates qualitative and quantative information within a rigorous mathematical framework. We also have the capability to develop management flight simulators for use by people in your organization who did not participate in the model building process.
Sensitivity Analysis
We can use the custom computer simulation model built specifically for your problem to test "what-if" scenarios, to identify high leverage points and to examine possible courses of action.
Training
We can train you to apply a systems thinking perspective to analyze problems. We can accomplish this through programs developed specifically for your organization and through the use of board games and management flight simulators.
The benefits of our services are a direct result of our use of the system dynamics methodology. Furthermore, our approach promotes understanding: understanding of the complex system interactions that are creating problems for your organization, and understanding the structure and dynamic implications of policy changes intended to improve your organization's behavior. This approach provides a cost effective way of analyizing problems and testing strategies prior to the costly implementation of policies.Your organization can derive a number of benefits from using the system dynamics approach to model your problem. Such benefits include:
- A map of the problem
- Unit analysis of the logic used to develop the map
- An explicit statement of the mathematical relationships between variables in the model
- What-if testing of different policies
- Identification of sensitive variables
- Identification of counterintuitive behavior (if it exists)
