▶ Short Sims are designed and built by Clark Aldrich
More than two decades ago, in his award-winning 2005 book Learning by Doing, Clark Aldrich identified four dominant types of simulations:
- branching stories
- interactive spreadsheets
- virtual products
- game-based models
Each had strengths, but also significant weaknesses. Over the following 15+ years, Aldrich refined, combined, and pressure-tested these simulations in real organizational settings, with real constraints. What emerged was a single, coherent pedagogy, SCORM compliant and buildable using industry standard tools.
The result is Short Sims.
"Why can't schools teach leadership?" This single question has motivated Clark Aldrich for three decades, down a path that, along the way, resulted in him being a leading voice and pioneering practitioner in experiential learning and leadership and culture development, and whose work has shaped major trends in education, training, and simulation-based learning.
