Ask ten people and get twelve different answers. Some label page-turn e-learning products or anything that requires decision making as simulations.

At humentum, simulation is a complex-branching realistic sequence of business scenarios that require participants to make choices and "feel" resulting consequences. Our complex branching simulations enable participants to apply acquired knowledge / skills in situations that reflect the complexities and intricacies of their work environment. Our simulations provide feedback (both written and scores) and encourage team interaction with other participants.  Our simulations actually expand the learning platform through small and large team interaction.

Blended Learning
Traditional classroom training is designed to provide participants with new knowledge / skills that they are to apply in their jobs on return.  Many participants struggle with post-classroom application because few of us quickly embrace change, and most training does not deal with how to overcome this resistance.  As a result, only a small percent of learned skills is applied and impact is thus minimal.

Blended learning integrates application of skills (experience) into the classroom using simulations. Groups of participants work together to address application issues by playing simulations that mirror the realities of their job environment.

Benefits of Blended Learning
Humentum addresses this long-standing problem by integrating experience into the classroom. Addressing application issues in tandem with skills development has the following benefits;

1. Participants leave programs with action plans tailored to address resistance

2. When application obstacles arrise, they are prepared to deal with them

3. Participants considering multiple options and consequences of each before making decisions (critical thinking)

4. The diverse learning styles of participants are addressed (seeing, hearing, doing) 

5. Participants learn from team work in the program as well as the facilitator, expanding the learning platform

Leveraging Blended Learning
Humentum has a library of simulations available that can simply be integrated into your training programs. We are also able to tailor each simulation to better fit your specific environment and address context specific issues. Or, we can work with your SMEs and build a custom simulation for you.  Let us show you how easy it is to add the power of simulation to your training programs / curriculum.

Only a few years ago, simulation design was so labor and technology intensive that only those with deep pockets could afford to have custom simulation built to fit their specific needs and environment. That's no longer the case. With advances in the field and powerful authoring tools that allow complex branching, simulations can now be produced in less time (within days) and with less expense.

We want you to try simulation, so we offer it in three cost effective ways;
     1. Rent a sim - $35 per person per day
     2. Lease a sim - $500 for 5 business days, unlimited use                                                              3. Own a sim - as little as $5k for a 30 minute simulation

We'd like to show you how we can work with your Subject Matter Experts to quickly and inexpensively design a simulation that is tailor- made for your organization. And best of all, you own the content, so even proprietary information and your environmental specifics can be built into every decision and scene within your simulation. 

The project environment is significantly different from the on-going operations atmosphere and leading in these two divergent environs is just as different. 

To truly comprehend the differences, one must experience the fast-paced, risky and political aspects of project work.  Humentum designs programs that immerse you in the project environment and allow you feel the pressures associated with creating / successfully managing expectation, learning to mitigate risks and learning from mistakes and their associated consequences.  

Our programs leverage the tools of project management to teach the science of project management as well as interpersonal and political skills to teach the art of leadership. 

We offer programs that address Project Work from all vantages;

Leading Project Leaders (Creating a project environment that facilitates success)
Project Leadership Essentials (The art of team and stakeholder leadership)
Project Managment Essentials (The science and tools of project managment)
Successful Project Execution (Skills for Leading from within the Core Team)

Humentum programs are designed to deliver experience.  

In addition to introducing new tools, knowledge, or skills, Humentum programs immerse learners in a work environment and allow them to experience application of the tools, knowledge or skills.  Facing the resistance that goes along with change, participants leave our programs with plans and skills that allow them to overcome the resistance. This results in improved results and reduced cycle times.

This focusing of "human momentum" is not just our mantra; it's our name!
