Systems Thinking and Wargaming
/reports/2009/systems-thinking-and-wargaming
In this paper we discuss the application of wargames to systems thinking (ST) models, and ST to wargames. We want to explore how models of political, social, and cultural processes can be helpful to those designing, conducting, and playing in national security related decision-making games, as well as examine how games can be used to enhance or construct ST models. In recent years there has been an increasing demand for tools that will allow operational and theater-level commanders to understand the human effects of their actions. Commanders routinely engage in actions designed to influence or affect behavior, and the results of those actions are often hard to measure (and even harder to predict). Without effective measures of success, it becomes difficult to assign a value to the various operational options, which complicates decisions about resource, attention, and policy trade-offs. Attempts have been made in the past by CNA and others to quantify the effects of engagement or other influence operations, with mixed success.
