System Dynamics

introduction (SD1 - 1d)

System Dynamics (SD) is the use of working, quantified simulation models that replicate the causal structure and time-behaviour of the organisation, function or issue of concern. Effectively a “digital twin” of that enterprise or issue, an SD model makes explicit why past performance has followed the path that it has, projects likely future performance, and enables testing of alternative scenarios
