GAMES
Systems thinking has a rich tradition of using play to impart learning. The Society offers two quintessential games. The Beer Game introduces players to fundamental concepts of systems as they play their part in a production and distribution system. Fish Banks allows players to explore the systems that determine sustainability. Both are favorites of trainers around the world.
