System Archetypes Growth and Underinvestment by Franc Grimm

In the model "system achetypes" (https://imodeler.info/ro?key=AWmcYVpCac1lRUJaRxmTz7Q) we have explained different system archetypes, which are describing common patterns of behavior in all kind of organizations or systems. For this, we have used 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 p...

Solution: small energy model 2 by Kai Neumann

Just a small model as a preparation to model with children the question how watching TV and energy consumption are connected. I recommend to start with the two factors watching TV and happiness and then continue to ask what it does mean with regard of energy ... and finally how this is connected with happiness. Probably the children will come up with a completely and yet very interesting model :-)

Beruflicher Erfolg / Burnout by Franc Grimm

Das Beispiel-Modell wurde erstellt, um die generellen Funktionen des iMODELERs zu demonstrieren - inbesondere den Read-Only-Link sowie den Presenter.

Es zeigt das Zusammenspiel der Faktoren "Leistungsdruck", "Motivation", "Life Balance", "Fokussierung auf Job", "Leistung" etc. Wie der Erkenntnis-Matrix des Faktors "Erfolg im Beruf" sehr schön entnommen werden kann, können gutg...

Gewinn (Qualitativ & Quantitativ) by Franc Grimm

Das Beispiel-Modell wurde erstellt, um die generellen Funktionen des iMODELERs zu demonstrieren. Das Modell zeigt exemplarisch einen Ausschnitt zum Thema „Wie kann ein Unternehmen kurz-, mittel- und langfristig seine Gewinne steigern“ u.a. mit den möglichen Ansatzpunkten / Maßnahmen „Marketing“, „Mitarbeiter-Motivation“, Budget-Kürzungen“ etc. Wie der Erkenntnis-Matrix des Faktors "Gewinn" sehr schön entnommen werden kann, können gutgemeinte Maßnahmen kurzfristig zwar positiv wirken und dennoch mittel- u...

Profit (qualitative and quantitative model) by Franc Grimm

Here you will find an example for a qualitative & quantitative model for the following challenge: a company is comparing different measures (Cost Cutting or Investments in Product Innovation, Product Quality, Marketing or Motivation of Staff Members) to increase the profit in a short-, medium- and longterm view. Although this model is very simply, it already allows to gain some crucial insights - as a demonstration on how to analyse and to gain insights with our iMODELER.

I am right - you are wrong, and I am not emotional by Susanne

This model is a reaction on one of the many fruitless discussions on social media where people resist the most rational and logical arguments in order to keep their mental model and also to feel good by thinking they are better than others. Psychology knows (at least) three mechanisms to protect one's feeling of integration (see Kai Neumann's model on this: https://www.know-why.net/model/Atxrf7zQLpoe5JP2Uvumyjw): cognitive dissonance (my final choice is good, everything else was bad) psychological reacta...
