RE: [ba-unrev-talk] Seemap Visual Language System for modeling business (and maybe other) forms of complexity.


HI John,

I thought some of the underlying assumptions - simple iconic similarity to realworld entities- for the seemap program were of interest. However, I must admit I may have been a victem of my own enthusiasm - I didn't really check it out.  So thanks for the more sober assessment below, and I'll have a look at your links.

Best, Eric

Thanks for the message.
 
I had a look at the Seemap software. It was not very compelling.
 
I am an avid practioners in the use of simulation for KM, persuasion and change.

My personal favorite, recommendation and tool I've been using for more than a decade is Stella/iThink.

For pure cognitive mapping, my preferred tool is MindJet --

Hi there,

Is anyone familiar with the Seemap software and methodology for modelling business or other social processes.  The website - which includes a quickview demo - is at:  http://www.seemap.com

I have only given a cursory examination but this system strikes me as an unusually interesting - and potentially effective - use of visual language to model, grasp, and work with complexity.

Cordially, Eric Sommer
