Outliers - the formula for success by Kai Neumann

A limit to qualitative models is that they cannot show multiplicative effects. A famous example is the formula for successful people (see also M. Gladwell's "Outliers"). According to this our success is the multiplication of hard work, talent and luck. No luck, no success. Little talent, little success despite all effort and even luck.  Similar argumentation: http://www.greattransition.org/publication/whats-luck

Solution: A healthy environment on earth by Kai Neumann

A model exploring the challenge of less pollution This model is part of a series of models that could serve as examples for small models on global challenges as they could be modeled by pupils. Of course, depending on their age and the time that is available as well as the help you offer they could come up with more details. What is the model asking?The model asks for the measures for a healthier environment using the KNOW WHY Questions from the KNOW WHY Method as they show up when we use the iMODELER. I...

Are Resource Costs Macroeconomically seen Costs? by Kai Neumann

In many of my client's models and I have to admit in some of my own as well the depletion of resources simply leads to an increase of resource prices which decreases spending power and competitiveness. But if we widen our system's boundary we can at least put into perspective this view. This qualitative model shows why.
