[SRI Simulation] The Dependency Chain - Professional Edition
PROFESSIONAL EDITION (Facilitated / Institutional Use)
Most leadership and systems training evaluate what people know.
The Dependency Chain (Professional Edition) reveals what systems produce when people act under real constraints. Set in a healthcare continuity environment, this facilitator-led simulation places participants inside a tightly coupled system where delay, dependency, and partial visibility reshape outcomes over time—without being immediately visible.
Participants operate across interdependent roles, making decisions under pressure while attempting to maintain flow and stability. The system continues to function throughout, which is precisely what allows fragility to form. The included Facilitator Guide provides structured control of conditions, event timing, and debrief pathways—ensuring that insights emerge from experience rather than instruction.
Designed for leadership development, operations training, and institutional use, this simulation surfaces patterns that are difficult to see in static analysis: how locally rational decisions create systemic risk, how capacity is consumed invisibly, and how continuity can mask deteriorating conditions until recovery is no longer possible.
