The Latin American Chapter of the Systems Dynamics Society will hold its annual conference in Chile November 18-20, 2004. The conference will bring together researchers and practitioners from the region and strengthen the development and use of systems dynamics in Latin America.
As part of the peer-reviewed articles submitted for the conference, Chris Johnson of ifPeople had a paper accepted for publication. The paper (in Spanish) presents a framework for understanding the dynamic nature of networks, and then analyzes the implications within networks of values-driven organizations. The paper provides a case study of the Red Puentes network, which is promoting Corporate Social Responsibility in Latin America.Sustainability is an issue that is best analyzed through a lens of systems thinking; however, sustainability is not specifically featured as part of the conference. The conference organizers have arranged for Chris to also give a workshop of sustainability and how to incorporate it into an organization.
