Abstract: A computer implemented method of determining the cultural style of a participant of an organization by accessing records of organizational data and participant data to generate an instance of simulation, and initiating a game simulation session. It includes receiving inputs from the participant to automatically calculate and generate a first set of simulation events, and presents to the participant a first set of events, and receives a response as textual or spoken inputs in an unstructured form. It further performs text analytics on the inputs, identifies themes and clusters based on frequency and meaning of inputs, and calculates probabilities and generates a further set of simulation events for a changed state of organizational model. It further includes presenting a further set of simulation events to the participant for inputs. These method steps are iterated until a state marker is reached. The semantic relationships are then analyzed and reports generated on culture styles.

Abstract: The present invention allows organizations to set up, and its users to experience, dynamic, realistic gamified simulations in a cost- and time-efficient manner, as a means of iteratively assessing and developing individuals' work-focused decision making. It also enables measurement of user attributes and the process of decision making involved at work, through the process of experiencing such simulations. By closely mirroring, or realistically simulating the way data changes with users' decisions or with events external or internal to the organization, the invention is able to faithfully reconstruct the work environment of the user, generate true-to-life responses and unobtrusively measure behavior under various simulated situations.
