“SysQ™ provides a powerful set of tools that boost team performance by getting people to stop pointing fingers at each other and to start pointing fingers at the problem. I’ve worked with Chris on a wide variety of projects for well over fifteen years. I’ve seen the impressive power of his work first-hand on more occasions than I can count.”

“Chris’ approach to systems thinking is different from other practitioners. He’s one of a handful of professionals largely responsible for ensuring the continued demand for systems thinking and systems modeling.”

“Simplicity is complexity resolved," said the sculptor Brâncuși. Chris deeply explores and comes to understand the complex structural dynamics at the root of persistent problems/challenges, so they can be distilled into deceptively simple solution paths forward. But more than that, I've hired Chris multiple times over 5 years and 2 companies because he's a mentor and coach. He builds the capacity of everyone he works with to become more comfortable swimming deep in system complexity. ”

“While predictive analytics provides correlations, it does not help identify leverage points for management to devise policies that would address today’s adaptive challenges. This is where systemic intelligence-using formal modeling based on the system dynamics approach—becomes more than useful. It’s essential. Without this capacity we cannot solve the wicked problems arising from today’s complex world.”
