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.

System Dynamics
introduction (SD1 - 1d)
£200 pre-recorded 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
