Training Room Simulations by Enspire Learning.

On Wednesday, Sept 5 I participated (listened in on) a webcast presented by the American Management Association. The presenters were owners of Enspire Learning a company that creates simulations and games for training purposes. One of the points I found most interesting had to do with attracting Gen Y employees into "training rooms." Unlike previous generational cohorts this group has spent more time in online activity than they have in watching TV. As a result trainers and organizations that develop workplace training, have to find creative, interactive ways to reach this cohort. When you click on Enspire Learning's site you will find a list of "Quick Jump Options" and can choose to view a demo. You will need to register an account but it takes a second and the demos are good and highly interactive. Much of their content has to do with decision making regarding resource allocation. I have looked at the "Global Supply Chain" and "Virtual Team management" and found the second to be less complex. I'm looking forward to your comments. Let me know which games or simulations you especially found interesting.
