There are several reasons why you might find practicing System Dynamics (SD) beneficial: SD provides methods and tools to enable better decision-making based on understanding the relationships between elements in complex systems. It has been used in areas like climate change, economics, governance, and healthcare. SD reveals system behaviours
Why use System Dynamics (SD)?
What is System Dynamics?
System Dynamics provides an approach for modelling complex systems over time, by visualising their dynamic interrelationships to reveal feedback loops and non-linear effects. SD helps to identify how these relationships influence each other over time.
SD has been extensively applied to complex, multi-agency situations, including climate change, economic restructuring, governance enhancement, and national healthcare programs, providing valuable insights and solutions for these critical issues.

Quantifying strategy using system dynamics
System dynamics (SD) is an approach that enables the behaviour of complex systems to be better understood and simulated. SD has been extensively applied to studying and managing complex feedback systems, such as business and other social systems, over the last 50 years. SD models represent changes in system behaviour over time by using the analogy of flows accumulating and depleting over time in...
