Getting People to Act on System Dynamics Insights
Models and stories in online poster presentations play a crucial role in engaging stakeholders and bridging the gap between knowledge and action. This session discusses the challenges of model results not being acted upon and explores the importance of empathy in storytelling to effectively communicate system dynamics insights. By focusing on empathy-building and translating story craft insights into modeling, this presentation highlights the key factors that drive behavior change and understanding within a dynamic system. The session concludes with valuable recommendations, implications, and extensions for incorporating empathy and storytelling in system dynamics work.

Problem Statement Model results are often not acted upon Attention Understandability Believability Stories face similar obstacles Plot and Characterization (Empathy) Understandability Verisimilitude 0:30-2:00 @systemdynamics_ THE 43RD INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM DYNAMICS CONFERENCE THE 40TH INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM DYNAMICS CONFERENCE Boston, Massachusetts, USA and Virtually #isdc2022 #isdc2025 Virtually everywhere!
Approach or Dynamic Hypothesis We are missing empathy in our story telling Empathy building is very much akin to the discovery process when modeling Both are based on a gap Conflict/Inability to understand Both resolve when the work is successful Engaging stakeholders needs to utilize that A reason Group Model Building (GMB) can be so successful 2:00-3:30 @systemdynamics_ THE 43RD INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM DYNAMICS CONFERENCE THE 40TH INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM DYNAMICS CONFERENCE Boston, Massachusetts, USA and Virtually #isdc2022 #isdc2025 Virtually everywhere!
