5. Support for decision makers
During creation of the model there is needed to verify the theoretical review and the requirement to create the
user interface, that the user can manage the parameters of dynamic simulation model. There are three main
sections on this user interface: the employee engagement activity, the leadership events and the work
assignments.
The employee engagement activity section allows the decision maker to determine the amount of satisfaction
of employees and new technologies development. The leadership section allows the decision maker to define the
level of leadership events, the level of knowledge satisfaction and the development of the employees. In the work
assignments section, the decision maker can define the projects that can be undertaken by the company and
further, on customer satisfaction. To begin the simulation, the user chooses all the values of the inputs that are
desired, and then clicks the run button. The simulation runs for a period determined by the user and pauses to
allow the user to review the effects of the decisions made.
The prototype provides the decision maker with various forms of support that guide them through the decision
making process. These guides range from the use of status alarms and notifications to the use of visual aids to
enhance learning and understating of various relationships in the context of Analysis of strategic leadership
models. To aid the leaders’ executives in making strategic decisions, the user interface of the sustainability model
alerts the user with various notifications during the course of the simulation.
For example, if the Employees Engagement Activities is low a message pops up to notify the user, that their
satisfaction is unsustainable. It also alerts the user if the employees are over worked. When IT Company
Resources satisfaction Employees, Knowledge and Work Assignments, a message pop up to notify the user and
