Abstract

This research investigates the implementability of Group Model Building workshops aimed at enhancing knowledge related to sustainable urban development. The workshops engaged participants in interactive sessions focused on practical applications and theoretical concepts of the transition to sustainable rail in the Province of Gelderland. To improve the implantability of GMB outcomes, Process mapping in the form of flowcharts were included in the workshop process. Data were collected through pre- and post-workshop surveys to measure changes in participants' understanding and confidence in applying the insights from the workshop. The findings indicate improvements in system, target and transitional knowledge, highlighting the effectiveness of the addition of process mapping to GMB practice. Participants reported increased awareness of sustainable strategies and a greater ability to implement these practices in real-world contexts. The inclusion of PM to GMB allowed participants to transition non-linear complex insights into sought after linear less complex workshop outcomes.
