Recent research has shown the valuable contributions of participatory processes in developing system dynamics models of value chains with stakeholders. The new participatory process of spatial group model building (SGMB) utilizes maps and GIS concepts to enhance facilitation and modeling processes. This note offers an overview of SGMB, its recent applications in informing development interventions, and suggested innovations for its expansion and dissemination.
Recent research has highlighted the valuable contributions that participatory processes contribute in developing system dynamics models of value chains with stakeholders. A new participatory process known as spatial group model building (SGMB) expands these insights, using maps and GIS concepts to improve the facilitation and modelling process. This practical note provides an overview of SGMB, its recent applications in informing development interventions, and proposed innovations to expand its use and dissemination.
