Interactive Simulators

Understanding Complex Organizational Dynamics

Organizations are complex systems with interdependent teams, workflows, and processes. Understanding how these elements interact—and how small changes can have exponential effects—is crucial for effective leadership and decision-making.

These interactive simulators help visualize abstract organizational concepts by making them concrete and tangible. Each simulator demonstrates key principles from systems thinking, queuing theory, and team dynamics in a hands-on way that traditional presentations simply can't match.

These are simplified versions of the comprehensive modeling tools available in Napkin Ops, designed to capture about 80% of the core insights in an accessible format. Use them to explore scenarios, test assumptions, and build intuition about how organizations really work.
