System Dynamics Toolkit

Save time, empower your teams and effectively upgrade your processes with access to this practical System Dynamics Toolkit and guide. Address common challenges with best-practice templates, step-by-step work plans and maturity diagnostics for any System Dynamics related project.

Download the Toolkit and in Three Steps you will be guided from idea to implementation results.

The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated System Dynamics specific requirements:

STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...


• The latest quick edition of the System Dynamics Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.


Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…


• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation


Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 993 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which System Dynamics improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 993 standard requirements:


1. How is your organization transforming its business model accordingly to deliver sustainable outcomes for its customers, for the stability of the financial system and for the economy as a whole?
   
   

2. How should organizations pursue the appropriate level of governance to maximize the benefits and advances that new modeling techniques offer, without placing your organization at risk?
   
   

3. Are there any project outputs or higher level results that are likely to have adverse environmental impacts, which, in turn, might affect the sustainability of project benefits?
   
   

4. Is it possible to create a model that assesses financial management maturity with respect to the complexity of the cloud configuration, also considering the adoption strategy?
   
   

5. Does detailed understanding of structure and the dynamic behavior resulting from that structure help managers to perform dynamic tasks better in uncertain environments?
   
   

6. Do you define/ guarantee/learn the stability, accuracy, settling time, and overshoot properties of systems, initially and as the system and human behavior evolves?
   
   

7. Is there adequate infrastructure to address the potential complexity of managing multiple software systems and the compliance databases across multiple versions?
   
   

8. Are there processes in place to determine when a data analysis finding is based on actual system performance and when it is based on data quality issues?
   
   

9. Have critical dependencies in complex programs and projects that require integration with other systems, especially legacy systems, been identified?
   
   

10. How is the management of change defined, managed and measured for success and do you ensure lessons learned are incorporated into future actions?
    
    


Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:

Results

With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any System Dynamics project with this in-depth System Dynamics Toolkit.

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:


• Diagnose System Dynamics projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

• Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals

• Integrate recent advances in System Dynamics and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines


Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make System Dynamics investments work better.

This System Dynamics All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
