How to use
- This tool can be used after a theoretical and methodological introduction to systems thinking concepts, causal loop diagram or a case study involving complex systems. The tool can be used in a collaborative mapping exercise where the group analyses system dynamics in practice. The tool can also be used in individual assignments where system maps are created for real world challenges and intervention strategies or leverage points are identified.
- Instructors should develop expertise in causal loop approaches and prepare protocols for collaborative exercises demonstrating system complexity.
Teaching format tip
Simulation/Serious Game
Establish clear learning objectives before gameplay and debrief systematically afterward. Students should document decision-making processes, unexpected outcomes, and strategic adaptations during play. Use multiple rounds to test different approaches and compare results. Connect game mechanics to real-world systems, helping students transfer insights from virtual to actual contexts.
