Brandon Hall Award

Brandon Hall Group, Excellence in Technology Awards, Silver 2021

Socratic Arts' Dynamic Scene Adapter™ (DSA) tool has won a 2021 Excellence in Technology Silver award from the Brandon Hall Group in the "Best Advance in ILT Management and Delivery" category.

A client's frustration with existing tools led to the development of the Dynamic Scene Adapter, which is a cloud-based simulation engine in which learners play a role in an immersive and compelling story. The experiential learning scenario unfolds realistically, turn by turn, with immediate coaching and feedback that enables participants to see the impact of their decisions through meaningful metrics. The DSA also enables a differentiated experience for learners, based on their decisions, actions, and performance in the simulation.

Note: Brandon Hall Group operates the largest and longest running awards program in Human Capital Management.

Socratic Arts, in partnership with Dr. Tish Robinson, renowned conflict transformation and professor at Hitotsubashi University of Business in Tokyo, Japan, are pleased to announce the availability of Leadership and Team Conflict Transformation. The online program is a self-paced course for managers who want to learn how to facilitate conversations between team members who are in conflict in a way that calms emotions, teases out underlying issues, and empowers them to find a mutually agreeable and sustainable solution.

While the skills and techniques taught are designed for workplace environments, they are equally useful at home, school, or anywhere else people end up in conflict. Which is, well, everywhere.

Group and Corporate rates, as well as live coaching sessions, are also availble.
