Comprehensive Enterprise Model by Kai Neumann

This is just a fictious case of an enterprise to show how it can be comprehensively modeled. Not only the weightings should differ from case to case but also more concrete factors should be added, e.g the concrete competitors, the features of the products and their impact onto the customer's feeling of integration and development, the potential market expansion etc.. For a possible quantification and a BSC it should be checked whether all measures and decisions impact measurable factors. Also a lot soft ...

Systemic view on terror threats after Paris by Kai Neumann

Just the start of a small model on the basic interconnections behind the growing threat of terror. You may use the collaborative link to edit the model or provide a complete new model.

Software (Product) Development Example Model by Kai Neumann

Small model on product development (in this case Consideo's improvement of data import functionality of the iMODELER) and how to use same basic features of the iMODELER like change of perspectives, use of categories and filters and some of the analysis functionality like the new bar charts and the benefit from the new weighting that comes with version 6. For more see the presenter (Menu ... Presenter).

System Archetypes by Franc Grimm

Here we would like to explain different system archetypes, which are describing common patterns of behavior in all kind of organizations or systems. For this, we are using simple examples - mainly based on the work of Peter Senge (Literature: Peter Senge et. al., The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook, 1994). Peter Senge documented the most common set of patterns of behavior in organizations that have the tendency of reoccurring. These patterns almost always result in negative consequences due to mismanaging com...

PiM: Building a new garden house (Qualitative Analysis) by Kai Neumann

The aim of this little model is to explore the project modeling possibilities of the PROCESS-iMODELER (it is called PROCESS-iMODELER though it is just a feature of the quantitative iMODELER). The project at hand is the building of a small garden house. The model probably isn't complete in its details as it should just show the functionality.

Collaborative Commons (J. Rifkin), Sharing Economy, Internet 4.0 (IoT) by Kai Neumann

This is the start of a collaborative model on the question whether the internet of things and the sharing economy will reshape the way we live, whether it will prevail, create or cost jobs, increase or decrease our living standards and whether it will have a positive effect on our environment. A major factor will be our net happiness. According to KNOW-WHY-Thinking we need to feel integration and development. It is way easier to feel good by buying something new (developement) and than having something (...

iM Version 8 feat iM-Optimizer by Kai Neumann

This is just a very small model to show the iM-Optimizer feature coming with version 8 of the iMODELER. For more see the Menu....Presenter. Don't hesitate to ask for more explanation here on KNOW-WHY.NET and please post your own enhanced versions of this model.

PiM: Optimal Parameter for Service Process by Kai Neumann

This is just a small model to show how PROCESS iMODELER (PiM) factors can be included in quantitative models. In this case it is a service and the question how many resource are optimal in order to satisfy the customers without becoming too expensive. Thus the Number of Resources is modeled with a range() function.

PiM: Building a new garden house (Learning Curve and Working Hours) 2 by Kai Neumann

The aim of this little model is to explore the project modeling possibilities of the PROCESS-iMODELER (it is called PROCESS-iMODELER though it is just a feature of the quantitative iMODELER). The project at hand is the building of a small garden house. The model probably isn't complete in its details as it just should show the functionality. Here it is the modeling of a learning curve and the definition of working hours for resources.
