Episode notes

How do you get all of the rules to like actually define the system? Like to me that's like infinite amount. And then I, it blows my mind that you can build the simulation. So how do you talk to stakeholders, get all that information and hope they're collecting enough of it too? "We need that speed and that agility to make an impact quickly," she says.

When it comes to simulation, we're all really asking the same question: are we living in one? Alas! We did not tackle that on this episode. Instead, with Julie Hoyer as a guest co-host while Moe is on leave, we were joined by Frances Sneddon, the CTO of Simul8, to dig into some of the nuts and bolts of simulation as a tool for improving processes. It turns out that effectively putting simulations to use means focusing on some of the same foundational aspects of effectively using analytics, data science, or experimentation: clearly defining the problem, tapping into the domain experts to actually understand the process or scenario of focus, and applying some level of "art" to complement the science of the work!
