The increasing complexities and organizational changes in the upcoming era inevitably direct researchers towards deeper contemplation of systemic methodologies and their application to address emerging issues. This article employs Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) to enhance System Dynamics (SD) in solving complex organizational issues, aiming to further leverage the capabilities of this combined approach in scenario planning and futures studies, particularly in the strategic domain. To evaluate the proposed combined methodology in practice, it was applied to better implement and prioritize strategies at the Statistical Center of Iran as a case study. Initially, the conceptual model of the employee motivation system (identified as the priority strategy) was outlined by various stakeholders using SSM. Subsequently, a causal loop diagram was extracted, and after modeling, testing, and implementing the model under different scenarios, the prioritization of operational strategies to improve the employee motivation system was conducted. Thus, by simultaneously combining both methods, SSM’s ability to engage stakeholders with diverse worldviews was harnessed to create a broader picture of strategies and to cultivate a strategic culture, while SD’s strengths in scenario planning were utilized for better implementation and prioritization of strategies in the relevant organization. This research aims to clarify the steps of the combined methodology in a way that can be applicable and beneficial for strategy development in other organizations, especially public organizations.
