Complexity Management
Use models and data to make better decisions in complex situations.
What is it About?
We use visual models, computational models and any available data to help our customers make better decisions in complex situations.
- business models and market strategies
- pricing strategies
- customer development
- supply chains
Who we Work For
Our clients are decision makers who would like:
- A complete picture of complex situations, from multiple perspectives.
- Quantification of risks and opportunities.
- Decisions based on transparent facts and assumptions, with a clear understanding of their impact.
- Early anticipation of, and preparation for, alternative future scenarios.
Our Approach
Our approach uses both soft, right-brain techniques (such as engaging workshops) and hard, left-brain, analytic, data-driven techniques (such as computer simulations and advanced analytics) to deal with complex situations.
We always tailor our approach to the given situation, while following these simple, yet powerful guidelines:
- We view enterprises and their ecosystems as complex systems of interacting elements.
- We take a holistic, systemic approach to explore, re-design and transform those complex systems.
- We identify and engage all key players to gather facts, assumptions, data and ideas.
- We build prototypes using informal sketches and diagrams, visual models, interactive simulations and advanced analytics to provide new insights and spark discussions.
- We share these insights frequently with all stakeholders and tailor them to their needs to get feedback and generate shared understanding.
- We use this shared understanding to make better decisions about how to re-design and transform those complex systems
- We make sure those decisions are implemented in practice.
- We learn and adapt continuously.
What Are The Next Steps?
If you have a pressing issue you need to make a decision on: just get in touch and we can find out how we can best help you.
If you want to learn more about us and our approach, it is best to attend one of our regular events.
We also offer workshops on Prototyping Business Models and Market Strategies and Master Supply Chain Complexity, which we tailor to your needs.

Our "Business Prototyping" Approach is Collaborative, Agile And Scalable
Business prototyping is about experimenting with new ideas and strategies in a risk-free environment: to do this, we first build a "prototype" or "enterprise" digital twin" of your enterprise and its ecosystem.
We then use that prototype to explore the consequences of new business ideas, strategies, and designs before realizing them in practice.
Because all assumptions are encoded in the model and relevant data can be ingested in near real-time, our prototypes can be used to explore alternative scenarios on the fly and make automated decisions in real-time.
Our approach ensures that all stakeholders are involved right from the beginning: we start small, iterate fast and deliver results quickly.
Why Business Prototyping is Useful
Business prototyping is useful because it lets you capture complex situations in their entirety, using the right mix of qualitative and quantitative models. You can then use those models to experiment with new ideas and strategies.
Results We've Achieved
Through our results-driven approach and commitment to excellence, we have earned a reputation for delivering impactful and measurable results for our clients across industries.
Future Scenarios For an Innovative Product
To help our client to prepare for a global product launch, we set up and facilitated a series of scenario planning workshops.
Simulation of a Customer Loyalty Program
Our client runs a successful customer loyalty programme. We built a simulation to predict effects of potential rule changes on membership levels.
Let's Make Better Decisions Together!
Please get in touch – we would love to find out whether our model-driven, analytical approach could be useful for the challenges you are facing.
Our workshop on Prototyping Business Models and Market Strategies will provide a great start into analyzing your business challenges.

Business Prototyping Toolkit
The Business Prototyping Toolkit for Python (BPTK-Py) provides you with a framework to build and run simulation models using System Dynamics and/or agent-based modeling.
Introduction to System Dynamics
Systems are pervasive – we humans live and work within social systems, and we are constantly creating new technical systems. Systems thinking provides a holistic perspective on reality that sharpens awareness of wholes and of how the parts within those wholes interrelate, System Dynamics provides a concrete set of tools for studying systems.
