Dr. Jack Homer is a management consultant and expert in System Dynamics simulation modeling. His models assist organizations looking for a formal yet flexible approach to strategic planning and policy design. In 1997, Dr. Homer received the Jay W. Forrester Award from the International System Dynamics Society for best contribution to the field in the preceding five years. In 2008, as part of a 9-person team, he received the 2008 inaugural Applied Systems Thinking Prize of the ASysT Institute for collaborative work on a problem of national significance (chronic disease and health policy).
