why system dynamics ?
Decision-making in a VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) is hard. System Dynamics helps you to develop a smart strategy by enabling you to identify, structure, and provide solutions to problems that need to take into account:
Holistic view
Short- vs Long-term effects
Tradeoffs
Chain of reactions
Unintended consequences
Feedback effects
Integrate
major forces that can affect key outcomes
Identify and quantify
consequences in the short- and long-term, years or decades into the future
Explore
pros and cons of various options
Spot
reactions of all affected parties, and the reactions to those reactions
Discover
unexpected consequences not previously considered or intended
Recognize
reactions (good or bad) that build upon themselves in reinforcing effects (vicious and virtuous cycles) or balance out
