Plenary talk from the First Global Conference on Research Integration and Implementation: "Models that Matter: System Dynamics Applications with Impact."
Conference abstract: An overview of several high profile system dynamics model-based applications, selected to show what such models look like, how they emerged (often in multidisciplinary interventions), and how they were used successfully to influence strategy, policy, and decision making. Examples include project management, commodity cycles, urban dynamics, and infectious disease policy.

Speaker biography: George P. Richardson is O’Leary Professor of Public Administration and Policy in the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy at the University at Albany, and affiliated Professor of Informatics in the College of Computing and Information. He is the author of Introduction to System Dynamics Modeling with DYNAMO (1981) and Feedback Thought in Social Science and Systems Theory (1991, 1999), both of which were honoured with the System Dynamics Society’s Jay W.Forrester Award, and the edited two-volume collection Modeling for Management: Simulation in Support of Systems Thinking (1996). He founded the System Dynamics Review and later served for seven years as its Executive Editor. Professor Richardson has been honored with awards from the University and the State University of New York for Excellence in Teaching (2003) and Excellence in Academic Service (2010). In 2011, the System Dynamics Society recognized him with its award for Outstanding Service for his contributions to the Society and the field.
Introduced by Nicola Grigg.
The First Global Conference on Research Integration and Implementation was held in Canberra in Australia, online and at three co-conferences (Lueneburg in Germany, The Hague in the Netherlands and Montevideo in Uruguay), 8-11 September 2013.
