Building a system dynamics model the conventional way can take weeks. This course, developed by Kim Warren, demonstrates a fast and reliable method for getting to a working, quantified model — one you can actually trust to reflect what's happening in the real world.
You'll learn to match a model to reality, play out likely futures, and use simple scenarios to drive better outcomes, following four rigorous steps that can guide your effort to build any model, not just the one used in this course.
You'll learn to:
- Follow "follow me" instructions that walk you through all four steps to build a real, working model, using a crime and policing case as the worked example
- Match your model to what's actually happening in the real world, rather than an idealised version of it
- Play out likely futures and use simple scenarios to explore how to achieve better outcomes
- Build your own models afterwards using the free Silico web app, alongside the full working model from the course, kept as a permanent reference
Includes lifetime access to the course materials, so you can revisit them as a reference for future modelling work, at your own pace.
