Advance Management Group follows the principle that our clients’ business process, once orchestrated, are the best curriculum for a learning organization to follow. This principle enabled AMG, working with Mayo Clinic, to design and deploy a model-based management system that ultimately earned both the prestigious System Dynamics Society’s Application Award and its Jay Forrester Award. Jim Rogers would love to share this story with you and explore options for breakthrough performance improvement within your organization.

CC Modeling Systems helps teachers at the secondary and undergraduate level (who work with students ages 15 to 22+) learn to create System Dynamics (SD) model-building lessons for use in their courses. With a three-sequence set of online courses in SD Modeling for math, science, and technology instructors, teachers from any location can learn to infuse system dynamics model-building lessons in their curriculum. The first course is intended for teachers with no background in System Dynamics modeling. By the end of the third course teachers could offer an introductory System Dynamics modeling course for their students. For more information about these courses, click here. For over 22 years the materials for both the courses mentioned above and for special teacher workshops were used with students ages 15 to 22+, successfully. We have extensive experience providing materials (see Lessons in Mathematics: A Dynamic Approach and Modeling Dynamic Systems: Lessons for a First Course) sold by isee systems, and classroom experience using these materials. Consulting services and workshops (in the northwestern US) are also available.
