Learning how to initiate strategic change in organisations by using computer simulation models. With the growing interconnectedness of society and increasing turbulence, organisations in the public and private sectors are continuously confronted with the need for improvement in strategy development, policy design and decision making in and across complex, dynamic domains. History is full of examples where decision makers did not succeed in designing such effective policies. Overly optimistic leaders who started wars they were bound to lose. Learning-by-doing policies that were unable to prevent over-utilisation and depletion of renewable resources. Very successful start-up-firms that went bankrupt as a result of over-expansion. Governments that tried in vain to reduce healthcare costs. And so the list goes on.
