Hello Yaman,

since my visit to Nijmegen in July being infected by SD I am constantly 
searching for information on the field.

As it is difficult to get the ideas to people or colleagues who have no 
SD background the Beergame is a good possibility to show the dependencies 
of different processes and the structure of the process.

You will find some online versions on the following link:

http://www.mister-wong.de (search for: Beergame); explicit the following link is a 
good online version of the Beergame: http://www.beergame.lim.ethz.ch/

The above link (Mister-Wong) is social bookmarking, that means one can share private 
bookmarks (on the home computer) either with other people or having the bookmarks on 
hand being away from home.

Either way it is a positive Feedback on the Stock of available knowledge a person or 
the community has (Am I right with that assumption?). Perhaps that is a nucleus to 
build up a model on creating useful knowledge for a community and what are other 
Feedback Loops. (This idea just came to my writing this lines ;-)).

Best regards from a truly system thinker just starting the trip

Ralf
