Forio Broadcast simulation software

Had a look this morning at some business simulation software that you can broadcast over the web. All good stuff but not really appropriate for this project since it is typically geared toward medium- and long-term strategic and operational issues facing large organizations. Basically you create a model by putting data and equations relating to your scenario, into excel and other areas of the software. Once this is done, this builds the various scenarios and outcomes of different business decisions. You then build a web interface or front end that presents your users with the training module. The idea is that they will be taken through a simulation with a series of problems and decisions which they have to negotiate their way through...as they do so graphs change and they can see the result of their actions. Very impressive if you have to go through say major change management and want to train your managers to steer their staff painlessly through it. Not really for the small business. Have a look here though at a standard simulation: http://www.forio.com
