System Dynamics is a method for model based analysis and policy design. It is applied in almost all areas of research and planning and is used to guide information search, to formulate models, perform analysis, and to facilitate learning and policy implementation.
The method helps solve complex problems within disciplines and it provides a unifying language that stimulates and facilitates inter- and transdisciplinary work and education.
Beyond the practical modeling skills, SD provides a lens through which one can observe reality and understand better what happens around her/him
