Business Dynamics Modelling

Business Dynamics Modelling and Systems Thinking tools and techniques can bring structure and insight into complex business decisions while also uniting stakeholders through building shared understanding.

The Berkeley Partnership use leading-edge Business Dynamics Modelling and Systems Thinking techniques to help clients develop robust business strategies, make better strategic decisions and ultimately realise better business outcomes.

Berkeley use Business Dynamics Modelling and Systems Thinking to help clients by:

• Facilitating a process to enable management teams to develop a shared understanding of business drivers and to explore those drivers within the context of the wider organisation or economy.
• Taking into account the dynamic nature of business challenges and the environment in which they sit via an exploration of the potential consequences of decisions as they play out over time.
• Challenging the conventional wisdom of organisations, often deeply rooted in corporate history but that may no longer be applicable to future decision making.
• Co-developing advanced simulations to explain current performance and explore future outcomes.  The models can be manipulated by decision makers allowing them to quickly explore different “what if” scenarios. 
• Developing recommendations that translate into implementable actions, the impact of which can then be measured to ensure that the intended outcomes are being realised during the implementation phase.

For example, Berkeley has used Business Dynamics Modelling and Systems Thinking to:

• Enable Marks and Spencer to drive cost savings out of the logistics business of its Outlets operation.
• Help a large multinational company to understand the long term effects of different recruitment policies on an ageing workforce.
• Enable the NHS to model local health economies in order to test the impact of different spend and policy decisions across hospitals, GP’s and community services.
