Abstract For those of us who see the value in simulation models and other rigorous systems thinking tools, the fact that others don’t always feel the same can be puzzling. By presenting a range of approaches and inviting clients to view them as alternatives rather than pushing one technique, we can help them to view systems thinking, in all its forms, more positively. At the same time, we can benefit by using tools and techniques from other fields to inform our model building in those times when creating a simulation is appropriate.
