Welcome to Symmetric
Testing Big Ideas in a Safe Place
We use computer modelling and simulation, mostly in health and social care, workforce planning, and public services to help you test big ideas in a safe place
Symmetric Scenarios is the current iteration of Symmetric, which has been around since 2005.
Our emphasis is shifting from model-building, to training and supporting people who wish to learn and develop simulation modelling skills using the System Dynamics approach, mostly in public services, with a particular focus on health and social care, capacity planning, and workforce modelling to support better strategic thinking /planning.
We use Stella Architect software, which combines model-building with user-interface development in one package. We can provide customised training to get people started. Mostly, we want to provide continuing support / mentoring to a community of modellers, and to act as a critical friend to organisations, including university departments, engaged in modelling projects.
