2. 2 © 2008 by Humentum Corporation – All rights reserved 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.

3. 3 © 2008 by Humentum Corporation – All rights reserved 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 –Flash  Excel Simulation as an Imitation of REALITY – embedding real-life tools within the simulation –Sim as a methodology for capturing and deploying Tacit Knowledge

5. 5 © 2008 by Humentum Corporation – All rights reserved What is a Humentum Simulation? 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
