Swiss Island^® Product Development

• During the last weeks, we completed the Swiss Island^® project management simulation option, where teams are competing for limited resources. Many of our clients were facing such situations and were asking for that option.
• The promised development of our Swiss Island^® portfolio management simulation progressed very well. Our initial version is now ready for testing. Alpha tests with selected simulation practitioners are starting in February.
