System Dynamics for Beginners – Hands-on Training
September 22, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm WAT
System Dynamics for Beginners – Hands-on Training
The Nigerian Chapter of the System Dynamics Society is putting together some seminars to teach system dynamics to beginners across different walks of life. We started with System Dynamics Building Blocks for Beginners (click here to watch the recording).
The seminars will try to address specific, real-life issues and are designed to be easy for anyone to follow. The context and case studies (including models) will reference topics relevant to Nigeria and as such will capture some of the uniqueness of the Nigerian context. However, they can be applied to other countries.
If are you interested in learning how to build simple system dynamics models, participate in group model building, or understand the feedback structures of essential systems, then these seminar events are for you.
DESCRIPTION
This seminar is a follow up on previous series which are available here. This event will be practical and require laptop computers.
The session will take you step by step on how to address specific, real-life issues. You will among other things learn about stocks, flows, and converters, systems thinking, how to build simple system dynamics models, participate in group model building, and understand the feedback structures of systems.
Relevant software can be got from links below
