    design new programs around The Electric Maze and Sentinel as well as how to

    know when each is most appropriate.
    - Facilitate the latest EM3 & LearnWare applications, bringing new depth to
    the simulation of organizational dynamics.

    - Learn the underlying fundamentals of Action Learning, integrating the
    concepts of Stewardship and The Learning Organization into your designs.
