Chris Hazard - Modeling, Math and Science for Building Strategic Serious Games
Chris Hazard, CEO/Founder, Hazardous Software
This presentation was given at the 2016 Serious Play Conference, hosted by the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School.
A serious game can be a useful tool to help understand a strategic problem to optimize solutions, manage risks, evaluate processes, and operationalize automation. The speaker will share broadly applicable techniques that have proven useful in designing and developing training games for solving strategic problems as well as company operations. The techniques include concepts from modeling and simulation, game theory, operations research, psychology, artificial intelligence and behavioral economics.
The talk is intended for two audiences. The talk will show executives and managers possibilities for using serious games, how serious games overlap with what they may know from management science and how serious games can aid understanding, automating, training and operationalizing various aspects of games for strategic purposes. Serious game developers, will also learn share techniques that have worked for us at Hazardous Software.
