Systems are pervasive - us humans live and work in social systems, and using (IT-)technology we create complex technical systems.

System dynamics (SD) is a modelling- and simulation method developed at the Massachussets Institure of Technology (MIT) by Prof. Jay Forrester that become known to the public through Peter Senge's book "The fifth discipline".

iThink is a powerful modelling tool that supports the system dynamics method.

Our white paper "Introduction to System Dynamics" explains the system dynamics method using a simple example from the realm of project management.
