New Generation of Simulations Provide Cost Effective, Measurable Behavior Change
The new models of simulations and serious games are filling that razor edge of opportunity and necessity for people responsible for organizational or community learning. In about an hour, these new sims develop business-critical concepts and drive long lasting behavioral changes in a way that is engaging for the user, reinforced by a deeper understanding of the material, and can meet certification requirements and other external measurements for the sponsor. Multiple sims can be chained together for greater depth and breadth. And their visual and kinesthetic nature make them the perfect choice for global audiences.Building Simulations
I design and build simulations, and either manage the entire end-to-end process or just take on the role of Lead Designer if an external team is already in place, for a growing list of international clients from corporate, military, government, and academic environments.
My clients and I have been called thought leaders, mavericks, rebels, and upstarts. We are together forever changing the way wisdom is recorded from experts and developed in others, while driving unheard of results for organizations and promotions for sponsors.
Email me if I can answer any questions.

Virtual Leader Product Line Available
SimuLearn's Virtual Leader Global Product Line, for which I was the lead designer, is available. Virtual Leader is the winner of countless awards and recognitions, including a patent and the title "The Best Online Training Product of the Year," and the world's first example of a new type of educational content. Through the AI and interface that I designed for the program, Virtual Leader develops leadership and emotional intelligence in players, as has been proven and documented in numerous third party published research. While I was not involved with the subsequent vLeader line, including vLeader Essentials, SimuLearn have taken the core product and my supporting content and put new packaging and additional linear material around it, while breaking it into smaller pieces.
