Adaptive Role-Play Exercises for a Leader Development Center
Abstract
This report describes work performed under a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research Contract. This report describes two research and development activities. One effort was the creation of a plan for the development of a Leader Development Center. Progeny Systems proposed to create a simulation or scenario-driven computer-based assessment of an individual's leadership performance. In order to create this computer-based assessment solution, the relevant literature had to be reviewed to develop the theoretical framework for the proof of concept solution. The other significant effort was the creation of a system to deliver content, capture user responses, and report results out to an external system. This Simulation Delivery System was created using XML, web services and the .Net 2.0 framework to minimize the client-side code and keep as much processing and functionality on the web server as possible. Moving the functionality out of the Simulation Environment also granted flexibility in which Simulation Engine could be used. These web services were further split into three different, but complementary functions, Get Leadership Data, Get Simulation Parameters, and Store Leadership Simulation Results.
