Systainability Dynamics

Businesses and Public Institutions Increasingly See it in their Own Interest to Better Understand the Future and How They Could Improve Sustainability.  We Support Their Efforts Through Analysis of Complex Interacting Non-Linear Dynamics Where Simple (Statistical) Analysis Will Not Suffice.

About Us

Our key competence is complex systems modelling:  We are a small outfit and pride ourselves of giving honest and solid advice that will stand the test of time and scrutiny.  We are surrounded by digital colleagues, mostly people and organizations that work indepedenently.  We are passionate about our work, our clients and our community. Our experience is broad, covering many aspects of sustainability.


We have worked on various aspects of sustainability, including that of oceans, energy, national security, and organizational development.


We are active in the public debate, and have good access to government offices and officials, especially in Norway.  If you decide so, we will also help you disseminate your concerns and our findings relating to it.
