    I've initiated an ITS ticket to install VensimPLE on remotely.manhattan.edu. Stay tuned!

      This is Bill. So far no word back from the Office of the General Counsel regarding the licensing of this software for use by an academic institution. Please stay tuned as I investigate whatever it is we might do to help this corporate review along. Thanks!

    I've had an issue the past 2 weeks where all of my work/graphs are not showing in Vensim when I upload to the Workbook. Additionally, this week when I would update my equations, no changes would show on my graphs. Wondering if anyone had these problems and was able to fix them.

    One way I have had to use is to create custom graphs. Their specifications are stored in the *.mdl file (it is ASCII text and visible to humans). Thus the graphs will persist.

    Hi everyone, sorry for the melee and confusion surrounding workbook submissions! I turned off all the required question settings (this apparently is the default) and you should be able to submit your answers and up load files with relative ease now. Thanks for your patience!

Week 3 Share - Extreme Projects and Us

In this week's share we consider extreme projects. These might be the ongoing series of all-nighters with team furiously working to a very hard deadline. They might be that one project which we all would like to forget, as it collapsed all around us, spectacularly failed  by all accounts. The one we could never bring back from the brink. There there might be that one project where everything went right! How did that happen? Recalling all of the Non-Disclosure Agreements, and good sense too, you have signed, be sure to anonymize any references to projects, people, even events. Name the myths, mind-sets, paradigms, worldviews you encountered during your best, and worst, days on a project. Consider how would you represent the paradigm. Why might you want to keep it the way it is, or find a way to topple it? In your example of your worst-case project experience, who were the most vulnerable participants in the project? Is there a leverage point in the project you might use to produce
