Rapid Simulation Development Excel Adobe Flash Excel Effective Solutions Across Multiple Environments AICC Meetings January 30, 2008
The strongest and most effective way to learn from experience, besides life itself, is to use a well-designed imitation of reality. Rehearse future success through world-class business simulations. Fail forward.
Session Objectives This session will help you to: • Describe the “when” and “why” of Complex Branching Immersive Learning Simulations for creating Engaged Learners • “Wheels in Motion” - Going from Excel to Flash in mapping out complex decision trees - Walking the Timeline • FlashExcel Simulation as an Imitation of REALITY – embedding real-life tools within the simulation • Sim as a methodology for capturing and deploying Tacit Knowledge
Humentum Simulations: Base story line and decisions on desired experience / performance objectives Use branching to guide story line events Provide immediate decision feedback through story line events Provide detailed decision feedback, both evaluative and variable-based Employ multiple decision types Provide Experiences: Learning-by-doing/Experiential learning Experience how decisions impact the broader team and organization in a risk-free environment “What if” scenarios foster and develop analytical skills and Problem Solving techniques Demonstrates impact of decisions in a compressed timeframe A context for participants to share experiences / learn with colleagues Using the power of storytelling to provide an immersive, experiential exercise What is a Humentum Simulation?
Simulations In Five Steps • Design Scorecard: Goals and Boundaries • Establish Storyline/Events: Challenges • Create Cast & Background: Context • Enable Triggering: Consequences • Apply Scoring: Outcomes
#4: Enabling Triggering - ”Walking down the Timeline” ... maintain Choice Option action => reaction dependency in convenient familiar editing enviroment ...
