Who We Are

The Center for Interdisciplinary Excellence in System Dynamics, LLP (CIESD) is a partnership that provides consulting on organizational dynamics, model-based problem solving, curriculum development, and system dynamics training for K-12 and collegiate students, their teachers and administrators, and other government and non-profit organizations. CIESD uses the tool-set of system dynamics, a diverse set of mental, graphical, and computer modeling techniques, to aid clients in better understanding their systems of interest and in providing insights on how to best leverage change in those systems. Current and recent projects are collaborations that assisted clients in Oregon, Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, the U.S. Federal Government, and here in Vermont.

CIESD's partners, John Heinbokel and Jeff Potash, have worked together for over fifteen years in a variety of academic and consulting projects.
