Team collaboration

Internal

Simulation Director provided high level feedback, Project Manager kept project running to time and budget

Client-side

Subject Matter Experts guided us to ascertain what the best practises were for their training

Result and impact

Internal success from Sim Director scored at 7.5 (score threshold for success is a 6)

“Very well written dialogues - the characters are established from the get go, they come across as believe, and have enough personality to make me care about what they bring to the table”

Reflection and improvement

It was fun getting quickly to grips with a completely new subject. It felt like my previous contract writing work - get in, get to grips with the materials and desired tone, get the work done, get out.
