Assessing the efficacy of group model building workshops in an applied setting through purposive text analysis

, 2020
Group model building (GMB) approaches have been shown to improve participants' understanding of complexity by shifting and aligning individuals' mental models of the interconnections within complex systems.

Eliciting Group Knowledge for Model-Building

1989
System dynamics models are typically created using multiple streams of information including quantitative data, written records, and information contained in the mental models of both individuals and groups. While qualitative sources of information are widely recognized as important in all stages of the model building process, little systematic ...

The Build Group of Solid Modelers

IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 1982
Build 2, Design, and Romulus are solid modelers with evolutionary links. Consideration of their characteristics and histories yields some general insights into solid modeling.

Outcomes of Group Model Building

2018
Group model building describes a variety of methods for involving clients or stakeholders in the creation of a system dynamics model. It has been the subject of extensive empirical study since 1988 using a variety of research methods. These studies present strong evidence that group model building supports increases in consensus, insight, communication

Evaluating group model building exercises: a method for comparing externalized mental models and group models

System Dynamics Review, 2015
AbstractWe introduce a systematic method to compare externalized mental models with a group model resulting from a group model building (GMB) process. To this end, we categorize the various concepts included in the models, and propose Venn diagrams and matrices to demonstrate the composition of the group model and identify the overlapping categories ...

Group Model Building Workshop and Facilitation

2013
This chapter provides an overview of the group model workshop and facilitation. The chapter covers the initial preparation before a workshop session, facilitation issues that can arise during a session, and debriefing immediately after the session. A conceptual framework is provided for understanding the different team roles in relation to managing ...

Family centered group care practice: Model building

Child & Youth Care Forum, 1998
This paper presents the results of a study that sought to validate a model of family centered group care conceptualized by Ainsworth and Small (1994). The Trieschman Carolinas family centered group care training and consultancy project provided the data base for the study. The implications of the findings for future research are discussed.

Basic Elements of Group Model Building

2018
System dynamics consist of a range of related tools for understanding the behaviour of systems over time. It became in the 1950s, and continues to branch and evolve. Important tools include behaviour-over-time graphs, causal loop diagrams, stock and flow models, and simulations.
