Viable System Model
introduction (VSM1 - 1d)
This one day course will provide learners with an overview of the Viable System Model covering: Overview of VSM Basic modelling using VSM We will work in groups on a case example to model a hospital using VSM. The case is drawn from real life. If you don’t know how to design an organisation to deliver your strategy, or how structural change happens in organisations, how effective can you be in

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

Patterns of Strategy
introduction (PoS1 - 1d)
This one-day course will provide learners with an overview of the Patterns of Strategy approach. Patterns of Strategy is a revolutionary approach to developing business strategy. It’s effective and simple to use, yet extremely powerful. Conventional approaches to strategy fail to deliver than 70% of the time (and more than 90%, according to some surveys) because they don’t take into account the
