KNOW-WHY

The world is getting more and more complex and dynamic. Competition is growing fast and globally! Despite all advances of civilization we face environmental crisis, poverty, depletion of natural resources and even in the rich countries an increasingly unhappy population. According to studies systems thinking is the crucial qualification of decision takers and managers, if not all of us. It is known that our brain is limited to the reflection of no more than four dynamically interacting factors. Most of our daily challenges include more than four factors so we need to visualize and analyze the interplay of these factors to cope with their complexity.

Nevertheless few decision takers do so, and that’s why we face so many problems in business, politics, society and even privately. As a consultant, trainer, lecturer, book-author and coach for many years I provide systems thinking on an extremely practical level with the KNOW-WHY* approach. And as one of the heads of the renowned Consideo GmbH I am offering you the leading software for systems thinking, the CONSIDEO MODELER. For many people systems thinking has seemed too sophisticated and some conclusions seemed arbitrary. But every decision taker draws his conclusions anyway, doesn’t he? We provide new, very easy to use tools and methods to quickly build a model of a complex situation. Having this you can have a look on your own thoughts, enhance them with additional ideas of yours and others.

And if you have time, you can even quantify the relations and include all kinds of available data for a System Dynamics model for simulations and what-if-scenarios. But be aware: Knowing that we have to work smarter but not harder doesn’t mean that we do so. We have to feel the results of a more conscious thinking and reflecting. So Know-How is the recipe of someone else from elsewhere and at another time. KNOW-WHY is to explore what will work for what reason effectively in your individual situation.
