![]() Roberto has created three widely acclaimed business simulations to help students learn how to problem solve and make decisions in real-world situations. Watch this video of Professor Roberto on simulations and active learning. He says they provide an “action-oriented perspective where students are actually doing things, making decisions, having to reflect on those actions and trying to understand what the lessons learned are.” He is a believer in the power of immersive, experiential learning and applies a variety of methods in his teaching, including business simulations. Roberto is continually researching and developing effective practices for engaging students to help them reach their fullest potential. The result was a happy team, came ahead of schedule, but over budget.SMITHFIELD, RI – Dedicated to innovation in teaching and learning, Trustee Professor of Management Michael A. My goal was to get ahead of schedule to enable me to slowly bring costs back to budget thereafter by reducing team members to 3 and eventually to 2 for the last 2 weeks. I decided to up the project to a level 4, starting with a team of 4 (med/high), extensive outsourcing, prototypes every 4 weeks and hosted stand-up meetings every two weeks for the first 6 weeks. Here are my attempts at the first four scenarios. ![]() It is also worth mentioning, the hands-on approach of the simulation provides the most effective method of learning about digital projects, as you play the scenarios over and over, you find yourself planning ahead and more importantly, planning effectively. The standout to date for me is the importance of prototyping, which are essential for implementing a digital project successfully. ![]() ![]() The simulations provide all the usual headaches and barriers, such as HR issues, external factors (competitors), team morale, scope and budget. I have had some project management experience, but never with a digital project. The Harvard Digital Project Simulations have been a real eye opener for me when it comes to digital project management. ![]()
