Project Management Simulation Training at Cranfield University

Cranfield's MSc in Enterprise System Implementation is now in its third year and is aimed at equipping students with the integrative approach and practical skills required to ensure success when implementing ICT projects. TCL, working with the course director Dr Ip-Shing Fan of the School of Applied Sciences at Cranfield, have again run a simulation day using SimulTrain® as an integral part of the course.

A major pan-European research project led by Cranfield University identified that many companies neglect the organisational and people change aspects when introducing new technology into a business. One of the reasons for selecting SimulTrain® to be used in the course is that it helps students to recognise and focus on these soft skill areas which are more difficult to bring to life in a formal training environment.

The SimulTrain® experience tests the students implementation and teamworking skills in a risk free but challenging and fun environment. The simulator gives instant feedback on decisions taken and reflects those decisions in the course that the project takes. In addition, teams are given feedback at the end of each simulation session and get reports from the system. They also have the opportunity to discuss issues further with TCL's experienced facilitators.
