The simulation comes in two forms

  • A computer simulation : the project itself, still under development
  • A group simulation designed to help develop the computer simulation

The Group Simulation

Type of Simulated Meeting

The group simulation focuses here on the following categories of meetings: brainstorming meetings and problem-solving meetings.

Roles in the group simulation

Participants in the simulation can play the following roles:

As a chairperson, the participant may have to act according to a leadership style.

As a plain attendant, the participant may have to play the role of a given personality type.
