System Dynamics Simulation & Strategic Modeling

Navigate Complexity with System Leadership.

From Insight to System Leadership

Real competitive advantage comes from the ability to see the whole system, not just the parts. We believe that System Leadership is a critical capability for the future.

By combining rigorous System Dynamics Modeling with practical business application, we empower your team to anticipate change, design robust policies, and build organizational resilience.

How we help our Clients

Experiential Learning & Competitive Simulations

Don't just lecture - experience! Our interactive Management Simulation Workshops place your leaders in the cockpit of a complex system. Participants experience the long-term consequences of their decisions in real-time, fostering a shared mental model and breaking down silos.

Executive Alignment

Align the C-Suite on strategy and trade-offs.

Change Management

Experience the "why" behind the change.

Functional Sims

HR/Recruiting, Service Delivery, and Marketing competitions.

Policy Analysis & Dynamic Optimization

Stress-test your strategy before execution. We use Scenario Planning to identify high-leverage intervention points in your business. From Strategic Workforce Planning to optimizing SaaS Marketing KPIs, we replace 'gut feeling' with data-driven policy design.

Strategic Workforce Planning

Anticipate talent gaps and aging chains.

SaaS Growth Engine

Optimize CAC, LTV, and Churn feedback loops.

Supply Chain Resilience

Test buffers against demand shocks.

System Dynamics Modeling & Digital Twins

For your most complex challenges, we build rigorous, custom models. We calibrate these models to your actual data to create a 'Digital Twin' of your process or market. This allows for precise optimization of the underlying system structure in a risk-free virtual environment.

Stock And Flow Feedback Models

Built in enterprise grade simulation tools such as Vensim, Ventity, Stella Architect, Anylogic. 

Model Data Calibration

Validated against historical performance. Fitting models to data. 

Interactive Interfaces

Explore, compare and select performance scenarios under different assumptions and parameters. Discover performance levers and de-risk under uncertainty. 

Featured Capabilities

Exploring strategic performance scenarios with management simulations

Feedback Structure

Feedback structure drives system behavior. Understanding stocks, flows and feedback loops enable deep insights and smarter decision making. 

Management Simulation for Sales Pipeline and Workforce Planning

Management Simulations

Surface the dynamics of complex systems. Build organizational competencies with an experiential learning approach.

Dynamic Workforce Planning Simulation by WITTIGONIA insights

System Dynamics Models

Feedback rich simulation models help understand the change over time in complex, non-linear systems. Anticipate challenges and set the right course and policies.

Data Insights for Planning and Optimization

We believe that System Leadership Capabilities are a key enabler in an increasingly complex and dynamic environment for business enterprises and public organizations.

Management KPI dashboards play a vital role in advancing the organizational resilience, agility and competitiveness in increasingly complex markets.

Frequently Asked Questions about System Dynamics Simulations 

What is the difference between System Dynamics and standard data analytics?

Standard analytics (Business Intelligence) is usually descriptive—it tells you what happened based on historical data. System Dynamics is causal and predictive. We model the underlying structure (feedback loops, delays, and accumulations) that drives behavior. This allows you to simulate future scenarios and understand why a system behaves the way it does, rather than just observing the output.

Do I need special software to run these simulations?

No. While we build models using advanced tools like Vensim, Ventity, Stella or Anylogic we typically deploy them for our clients as web-based simulations (e.g., via Forio Epicenter) or interactive dashboards. You can run strategic scenarios directly in your browser without needing to install or learn complex modeling software.

What is a "Competitive Simulation"?

Think of it as a "flight simulator" for management. Instead of testing a strategy in the real market (where failure is expensive), your leadership team competes in a risk-free virtual environment. This aligns the team, exposes hidden risks, and trains "Systems Thinking" capabilities by letting you experience the long-term consequences of your decisions.
