One of the companies bringing expertise to project GHOST are Larrainzar Consulting. Larrainzar specialise in the analysis of complex, human centred problems using techniques drawn from Operations Research.
Operations Research involves applying a scientific approach to solving complex real-world problems, and makes use of a wide variety of different techniques to help organisations and people solve problems and improve results. These techniques are used to:
• Structure Problems so that they can be better understood
• Analyse Data so that decisions can be supported by evidence
• Develop Models so that options can be explored
• Explore Systems so that the best solutions can be uncovered
Larrainzar are crucial to the GHOST project, and are providing expertise in predictive analytics, allowing:
• Modelling of the human response to training
• Prediction of human performance in real time as training events progress and
• Statistical analysis of the resulting data.
John Medhurst, Director of Larrainzar, explained that “GHOST is an opportunity to show how models of training can be used to improve the experience of training, both for instructors and for trainees, and provides the opportunity for Larrainzar to work with dynamic partners such as Inzpire”.
