Hello together,

Jack has made an interesting point:

bring the theoretical ideas/models to the front line in an easy and 
practical way and find the boundary spanners who know enough of both 
worlds (business and methology) so you will -probably- get the practical 
usage of SD in business into gear;-))

Our plant manager of the newly built BMW Plant Leipzig, Peter Claussen, 
is giving a lecture for a whole semester on "Systemic Factory Planning" 
and that seems -in my eyes- a good way to bring SD into business life. 
The students in the lecture -I myself am joining every two weeks- haven't 
heard of Systems Thinking and System Dynamics and after playing the 
Beer Game they are really interested in it (my impression).

Looking forward to bring SD in practical ways to business as I think that 
is a good way to anticipate business changes early in the process by doing 
similation or just discussion the stock-flow-models:-))

Best regards from Leipzig

Ralf

PS.: Everybody who is interested is kindly invited to join the group 
"System Dynamics - practical usage in businesses" at XING (former OpenBC) at 
https://www.xing.com/net/systemdynamics/ (if you need an invitation please 
send me an email).
