Dennis Meadows, Ph.D., Professor of Systems Policy and Social Science Research, Director of the Institute for Policy and Social Science Research.

Dr. Meadows is perhaps best known for his work with the MIT team that produced the global computer simulation model "World3" in 1972. The model provided the basis for the Club of Rome's predictions and the book "The Limits to Growth", which Dr. Meadows co-authored. Three decades since the publication of "The Limits to Growth", Meadows still deals with long-term issues and matters of global modeling at the Institute for Policy and Social Science Research (IPSSR) at the University of New Hampshire.

Dr. Meadows holds a Ph.D. in management from M.I.T. in addition to honorary doctorates from three European universities acknowledging his contributions to international environmental policy analysis and computer-aided education.

Dennis sits on the management board of The Browne Center where he facilitates workshops and contributes innovative and complex games to the curriculum. He is Senior Academic Advisor for LEAD/International, a leadership development program active in more than 30 nations. He has been a corporate board member and a consultant for government, industry and non-profit groups in the U.S. and many countries abroad. He has a Ph.D. in Management from MIT, where he served on the faculty, and three honorary doctorates. He has written or co-authored eight books on systems, futures, and educational games—they have been translated into more than 30 languages. He is Past President of the International System Dynamics Society and the International Simulation and Games Association. Presently he is working to refine a day-long workshop, based on games, lectures, and small-group discussions that help participants master the fundamentals of systems thinking and apply them concretely to the solution of their organization's problems.
