Sparking System Change with System Dynamics

David Koelle (Charles River Analytics), Stephanie Losi (21 Labs, Inc.)

SXSW 2024, Austin, TX (March 2024)

The 1972 Limits to Growth study predicted a climate change trajectory that looks accurate all these decades later. The study used system dynamics, a modeling approach that aims to find leverage points: places where a small change can cause big and beneficial changes throughout a system.

This hands-on workshop will teach participants of all backgrounds how to get started with system dynamics. We’ll draw systems as collections of stocks, flows, and feedback loops, explore common patterns of behavior, and share resources to help you put system dynamics into practice.
