Research and Science

The science behind Situation Expert is based on action research and experiments with clients of Vignettes Learning and Situation Expert. We are interested in finding ways to bring learning closer to work. The goal is to develop a Workflow Learning Platform. We are thankful to the TrainingMagNetwork.com community who allowed us to test, experiment and learn. Ray Jimenez is the architect of TrainingMagNetwork.com (TMN). TMN has 160,000 members.
