In 2012, Godot joined our long-term partner The Regis Company in developing a multi-day simulation-based training for the US Air Force, translating their National Strategic Decision Making textbook and process into an asynchronous, interactive experience.

Our group’s focus for the project was on content, multimedia, and storytelling. In addition to the fictional scenarios we developed, the Cuban Missile Crisis provided a real-world narrative of strategic decision making to tie the simulation’s learnings to historical application. To tell the story, we reached out to renown academics who had both studied the Crisis and lived through the period.
