A system software and method which relates to the field of computing technology or business process models or computer systems or distributed computer systems or computer networks relating to general purpose devices that can be programmed to carry out a set of data table or hash table updates, validations or modifications supporting, enabling or executing public and private services, financial transactions and commercial applications. More specifically, the present invention is directed to distributed and decentralized computing in which said distributed network is supported and encrypted by cryptographic technology, hash functions and distributed public or private keys or other related technology. System and methods for managing dynamic electronic documents on a private distributed ledger comprise establishing a dynamic electronic document comprising a first state object, wherein the state object references a prior approved first transaction; proposing a second transaction comprising as an input the first state object and as an output a transaction command to alter the state object as well as what parameters are required to validate the second transaction; validating the proposed second transaction; and updating the state object on a private distributed ledger to reference the second transaction.

A cloud-based performance enhancement service captures and collects data relating to interactions of users with industrial automation systems of multiple industrial customers for storage and analysis on a cloud platform. The service employs a performance enhancement component that analyzes the data to facilitate determining correlations between certain user interactions and favorable performance of an industrial automation system, determining user interactions that are less favorable or unsafe, determining alternative actions that a user can take to achieve a same or similar preferred operational result, generating recommendations relating to the alternative actions, determining or designing components or techniques that can automate a preferred user action, determining improved user assignments in connection with the industrial automation system, and/or generating training modules or presentations based on preferred user actions that can be used to train users to more efficiently interact with an industrial automation system to achieve improved system performance.

Disclosed is an educational board game having a game surface and associated physical gaming elements that cooperatively simulate distinct phases of a supply chain, in which different physical gaming elements and game board segments correspond to those distinct supply chain phases. Mating, player-specific (e.g., color coded) material game pieces represent materials that may be combined to form a simulated product. Combined game pieces representing player-specific products may then be moved across the game board with players paying various supply chain costs and receiving payment for product sales through the segments of the supply chain. A random number generator, such as one or more dice, in combination with various cards, are used by the players to determine the occurrence of various supply chain risks, values, and projections as the players progress through the segments of the supply chain to ultimate sale of finished products.

Systems and methods are presented to disclose a gamified startup ecosystem wherein the participants comprising various real and role-playing stakeholders of the startup ecosystem are enabled and incentivized to interact with each other in their respective roles in a plurality of ways that draw upon gamification to make the participants' experiences interactive, valuable, interesting, educational, and rewarding for them in their various roles.

A method of simulating an emergency response training scenario to users in different locations, including customizing a scenario, initiating a game state having a threat level and a time remaining, assigning a role to each of a plurality of users wherein each of the users uses a device, assigning digital assets within the scenario to each of the users, displaying an introduction sequence, initiating an incident and simultaneously notifying a first group of at least two users, logging and scoring a chosen response from the possible responses compared to a scoring system, updating the game state whereby the threat level is raised or lowered and the time remaining is increased or decreased, triggering another event to at least two of the plurality of users, and communicating a score calculated in the logging and scoring step to at least one user on one of the at least one client device.

Systems and methods of the present invention provide for identifying the skills of a candidate, generating and delivering one or more courses for skill development to the candidate, and/or providing certification or other credentials for skills obtained by the candidate via the courses. Identifying the skills may include a server comparing a set of initial skills to a set of requisite skills to identify a set of untrained skills. Generating and delivering courses may include generating a skill path based on the set of untrained skills and delivering course content associated with the untrained skills. Providing certification may include issuing a credential to the user upon determining that the user has successfully completed a course and sending notifications to third party servers and/or a user device indicating completion of the course.
