The Business Opportunity for Systems Thinking
System Dynamics Key Concepts
Systems Thinking combined with Computer Simulation multiple applications in Health and Social Care
• Applies an operational understanding of things to strategic thinking• “Whole system” strategic service planning• Problems that cross organisational or functional boundaries• Interconnections between population need, a presenting problem, an
intervention, its impact on the whole (e.g. cost)• Conceptual toolkit of stocks, flows, causal relationships, feedback loops,
“change over time”, “system as cause” explanations (not always)• Methodology, lends itself to participative approaches such as Group
Modelling Building using iterative learning cycle• Advances in computer technology make “productisation” of SD models
more possible
Industrial Perspective
The Business Opportunity for Systems Thinking
Opportunities• Changing landscape of commissioning, SD provides a means of
facilitating discussion / negotiation between commissioners and providers
• Renewed emphasis on Public Health• “Integration” agenda between health and social care• Need to build bridges with “health economics” approaches
Challenges• Nobody is required to have a “model”; most organisations choose
to plan without a formal model• Supply of practitioners is limited (hence need for Cumberland
Initiative); what would happen if everyone suddenly wanted a model?
