Clark Aldrich, an independent contractor, works with clients to create effective, celebrated, and innovative simulations. He has designed award-winning simulations on areas ranging from influencing skills to cyber security, and with clients as diverse as the Department of Defense to private universities. When working with SimuLearn, he was awarded a patent for the Virtual Leader global product line (which is the most popular leadership simulation in the world and was the winner of the “best online training product of the year”). Virtual Leader (and the updated vLeader) is currently used in hundreds of corporations, universities, and military installations and has been translated into multiple foreign languages.

Aldrich also advises many of the world’s most influential organizations (private and government), and serves on over a dozen boards, including with magazines, and universities, on educational and business analysis projects.

He is the author of four books, Simulations and the Future of Learning (Wiley, 2004), Learning By Doing (Wiley, 2005), The Complete Guide to Simulations and Serious Games – How the Most Valuable Content Will Be Created In the Age Beyond Gutenberg to Google (Wiley, 2009) and Learning Online with Games, Simulations, and Virtual Worlds (Wiley, 2009).
