This video is part of a series of videos that explain how to take a simple business problem, visually depict it in two models, find the cause, suggested a solution, and use simulation to see the impact of a proposed change.  We used the classical purchasing department problem. You can refer back to my last post […]

Using InsightMaker to create stocks & flows diagram, and run a simulation

This video explains how to convert a casual loop diagram into stocks and flows diagram and using InsightMaker to run a simulation of the model. To refresh your memory about causal diagrams and the example we created for the purchasing department: https://galaxiez.com/2019/08/14/behavioral-over-time-diagrams-add-more-clarity-to-causal-loop-diagrams/

Using Fractals as a Principle to Run Organizations

Fractals are one of the main characteristics of chaos and are a useful concept for organizations. Fractals are an amazing complex geometric figure created by applying simple rules on a simple geometric structure. The never-ending patterns that freckles use are a basic principle that can be found anywhere around us (from leaves to clouds). Fractals are structures that contain one
