Speaker: Dr. Ben Taylor will be presenting Gaming and Affordability. Dr Taylor's talk will cover two main topics. Firstly, it will introduce the concepts of gaming, the types of games that can be applied in the professional arena and the benefits that can be accrued from using gaming in support of decision-making processes in defense. Secondly, it will provide some specific examples of games that have been developed in areas that may be of interest to members of the affordability COP.
