Gerald Sindell

CEO of Aligned Trust and the inventor behind its patented Universal Authentication System.

A leading thinker in Systems Dynamics, Sindell is a Partner at the Identity Dynamics Institute, where he led the team that developed the first universal systems dynamics model of major organizational structures. This achievement was praised by James Champy (Boston Consulting Group), who acknowledged it as a breakthrough he had long envisioned but was unable to realize.

For Accenture, Sindell developed Simplementation — a 35,000 variable systems dynamics model that interactively trains and simulates implementation challenges and outcomes. The system was the first integration of a large systems dynamics model with a real-time 3D simulated environment.

Recognizing Simplementation as a major advancement in simulation-based training, the National Defence University invited Sindell to present his breakthrough in an extraordinary all-hands  lecture to virtually all IT departmental heads of the U.S. government, including leaders from the C.I.A., I.R.S., F.B.I.. S.S.A., and every branch of the Armed Forces.

Sindell played a central role in the development of the Enterprise Operating System, which is the management system for tens of thousands of small and medium-sized companies around the world. He was also responsible for transforming the Balanced Scorecard Institute’s work-in-progress into the fully integrated enterprise management  system that is now used by major governments and corporations worldwide.

Sindell authored and presented A Universal Model of Energy Flows in Large Scale Organizations to the 2023 International System Dynamics Conference

He is the author of several influential books, including How Architecture Tells (with Robert Steinberg, Oro Editions, 2022, foreword by Hon. Penny Pritzker), and his widely- employed guide to the development and diffussion of innovation The Genius Machine (New World, 2008), described by Harvard Business School’s Rosabeth Moss Kanter as “a gift to the world.”
