Syllabus
Session
1: Defining the Learning Objective
Consider your audience and define the learning objectives of your model.
- Who is the model’s end-user?
- What is the model’s objective?
- How should the end-user be involved in the modeling process?
- What should be modeled?
Session
2: Getting Results from Small Models
Build small, defined model prototypes that test effectiveness for end-user learning.
- What part of the model get’s built first? Next?
- How is the prototype most effectively tested?
- How should the end-user be involved in testing?
Session
3: Developing a Custom Learning Model
Learn how to assess prototype results, move onto more sophisticated models when needed, and tailor the model to the end-users learning needs.
- Did the prototype meet learning objectives?
- How can end-user “buy-in” begin during the modeling process?
- How should the end-user be engaged in the final model-driven learning experience?
Session
4: Creating a Learning Experience
Maximize the individual and collective impact of models and the learning experiences they drive.
- What is the overall flow of the learning experience?
- How should models be documented?
- How can you facilitate the learning experience and create simulations that relate to the real world?

the Instructor
Jennifer
Kemeny is a highly respected and influential consultant in the organizational
learning field and is particularly known for breaking new ground in the
fields of system dynamics and Systems Thinking.
For over 25
years she has pioneered powerful approaches that lead to critical insights,
renewed motivation and fundamental transformation with her clients. She has
worked with Sr. Executives in the world’s largest organizations (including
Royal Dutch Shell, FedEx, Proctor & Gamble, Georgia Power, Arthur D.
