Beyond mindmapping: tool for systems thinking & dynamics.
The CONSIDEO MODELER is a tool (Windows, Mac and Linux) to visualize and analyze our daily challenges. The MODELER helps to gain insights to get ideas, communicate, plan projects, identify risks, or develop measures successfully. Unique is the MODELER's ease of use. Right the way we think and talk we connect factors with arrows with a polarity of plus or minus to form arguments or to describe projects, processes and developments. The MODELER has won several prices and is named a world champion made in Germany as the currently leading tool of its kind worldwide. Either we do qualitative modeling, quickly describing connections between factors with the attributes 'weak', 'middle' or 'strong' to then identify the factors that are decisive risks ore measures short- and longterm Or we do quantitative modeling, to use data (e.g. Excel, SQL) and formulas to then run scenarios in simulation cockpits to foresee the likely effects of risks and measures over time. Using so called subsystems we can model the interplay of even thousands of factors. People who use the MODELER say they are modeling. They model meetings, they model ideas, they model processes, they model strategies, and so forth. Users range from international organization, renowned companies from all major industries, trainers, consultants and coaches to universities and even schools worldwide. Also available its additions, the PROCESS MODELER (to manage complexity and identify constraints (ToC) within processes and projects, to import from e.g. MS Project) and the OLAP MODELER to connect to data warehouses (e.g. SAP BW) for a new dimension of business intelligence.
...Trainer und Berater<br />This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Der CONSIDEO MODELER ist ein Gestaltungs-Werkzeug mit dem Potential, den Alltag des Beraters, Trainers oder Entscheidungsträger entscheidend zu verändern: Es überzeugt durch breites Einsatzspektrum und hohe Flexibilität - eine leichte Bedienbarkeit sorgt für die notwendige Effizienz im Alltag. Die Verwandschaft zum Mindmapping existiert nur vordergründig - schnell stellt sich heraus, dass die Software die Möglichkeiten bietet, die man bei den Mindmapping-Methoden schon immer vermisst hat - etwa verknüpfte Strukturen (Ursache-Wirkungsbeziehungen) erst beschreiben, dann bewerten und falls moeglich - auch dynamisieren zu können.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />nice tool - makes it possible to combine the qualitative (conceptmapping, mental modelling) and the quantitative approach (simulation) of analysing complex problems. it is easy to use and very powerful. we are using it as a meeting tool.
