Jerome Gary, through ICT Works and in association with USC’s Institute for Creative Technologies, has led more than 30 Think Tanks combining client provided subject matter experts with “out of the box” creative people from gaming, entertainment, internet, and academic cultures. Typically, these Think Tanks take place over four evenings and a “White Paper” is produced on the group’s conclusions. Generally, a dozen or so creative “consultants,” whose experience compliments the topic, are mixed with as many subject matter experts provided by the client.
Topics have included:
• The War on Terror: Several Iterations
• Media in the Arab World
• Iraq: Several Iterations
• Middle East Gaming
• Enhancing User Experience and Interaction in Online Learning
• The Deep Web
• Terrorist Uses of Gaming
• War Gaming Technologies
• Regional Media Initiatives and Training
Additionally, Jerome Gary has led more than a dozen scenario planning seminars with federal and corporate clients in which a topic is chosen and a number of divergent possible future narratives are generated. Once again, subject matter experts are mixed with “out of the box” creative people, primarily writers.
He has also taught more than a dozen three day seminars using storytelling and character analysis as tools to garner support, promote teamwork, predict behaviors, and heal cultures. |
