How do you #model what can’t be measured? This study demonstrates how #ParticipatoryModeling integrates local knowledge and #Calibration to capture hidden social dynamics in complex socio-ecological systems. Read the full #OpenAccess article in #JASSS: jasss.org/29/1/3.html

🚀✨ I am delighted to share that new systems model building and analysis software is now available! The Qualitative Systems Exploration Model (QSEM) software enhances our ability to derive actionable insights from systems models, Causal Loop Diagrams (CLDs), Group Model Building, and participatory activities! 🚀✨ After years mapping, applying, and testing complex systems models in health, sport, safety, transport, and beyond, I noticed an opportunity to enhance qualitative methods. We can create CLDs and other systems models that lead to valuable conversations with researchers and stakeholders, but turning those insights into actionable strategies that shift the system? That’s where things can get tricky...! To bridge that gap, I built QSEM. It keeps the openness and collaboration of systems thinking, co-design, and modelling while introducing: ✅ Novel metrics ✅ Real-time progress updates ✅ Flexible weighting systems ✅ Exciting interactive visuals ✅ Thematic classification and coding ✅ Subsystem frames ✅ Key loops of interest ✅ 3D exploratory views ✅ The ability to collaborate on the same model with easy file sharing The new user-friendly software is designed to give teams more confidence in their decisions by: ✅ Applying quantitative approaches to non-simulated systems models (such as CLDs) to extract deeper, more actionable insights ✅ Taking a novel approach to quantifying factors and relationships using impact and control values; it's easy to use, you can build a CLD in situ with stakeholders and explore model elements in real time ✅ Finding and scoring key factors and feedback loops for strength, speed, and relative independence ✅ Combining control and influence to focus on what’s both important and within governance reach If you want to explore systems within sleek software and gain new insights using a novel method, see what QSEM can do for you! *note*: yes please do "request access" to QSEM at login after "launch" 😊 loads of new requests & interest wow (!!) thank you to this great enthusiastic community, & please share with others if useful, best, AH 🙏 👉 systemssciencelab.com #SystemDynamics #SytemsThinking #CommunityEngagement #ParticipatoryModeling #PolicyModeling #ComplexSystems

Congratulations Prof @MoiraZellner on your new published article. Your extensive work and contributions to #participatorymodeling over the years are very commendable. Great work.

Exciting news from our XPaths researchers! A new paper, led by @collste , explores the power of combining systems tools with #participatorymodeling to identify #inclusivepathways towards the #SDGs. Read more: xpathsfutures.org/paper-out/

Hey .@scra @Hands on #systemdynamics & #participatorymodeling workshop today in NL4020 at 4:15! Please bring your laptop & @DLounsburyNYC will help get you started Modeling to Learn from simulation. #scra2019

Totally agree - #participatorymodeling #humanOranizationalSystems #codesign all inform my research and the hardest problems are #iMO social process related not biophysical
