Abstract :
System dynamics (SD) models contain valuable insights on complex organizational issues that develop over time. However, for non-experts such models can be complex and difficult to understand. We propose Dynamic Stories, a methodology that uses storytelling, to rephrase expert terminology in simpler to understand action terms, thus overcoming knowledge transfer problems. To show the feasibility of the approach, we present our methodological framework.
