MUMBAI, India, June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Tata Interactive Systems (TIS) and Dave Vance, formerly President of Caterpillar University, conducted a TOPSIM(R) Learning Manager simulation workshop for decision makers in Learning and Development in the UK.
The one-day workshop, held on 22nd May at the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) in London, saw a group of HR and Learning professionals get together to discuss, dissect and compete to see which would be the best L&D team on the day. Dave Vance (ex-President of Caterpillar University and CLO of the Year 2006) ran the simulation and presented a case study on "Improving the Effectiveness and Efficiency of the Training Organisation."
The participants played a multi-player simulation - TOPSIM(R) Learning Manager - that allows teams to run their organisation's L&D function like a business, allowing them to make strategic and tactical decisions and to analyse both the impact of the learning and its ROI. The simulation was run across a couple of decision cycles, with a short session on simulations and how they can be used most effectively to address business and learning challenges.
The event was attended by representatives from Ashorne Hill, CIEH, the FSA, Learning Forte, Tata Consultancy Services and Turner & Townsend amongst others.
Alan Samuel (Vice President - UK ) summed up by saying: "Simulations focus on the application of knowledge and help train business managers on how to drive business performance, by enabling them to recognise external influences in a complex and interrelated environment."
