Role-playing & human factors

In maritime simulation and innovation projects, realistic human behavior is essential. Role-playing and human-factor support brings the human element into training, testing, and project validation, ensuring outcomes reflect real operational decision-making.

Communication breakdowns, authority gradients, stress, and ambiguous information are part of daily maritime operations. I help embed these elements into scenarios and pilots in a structured and repeatable way.


Why this matters

Training and innovation pilots often focus on systems, procedures, or checklists, while overlooking how people actually behave under pressure. Without credible human interaction, assessments lose value and project decisions risk being unrealistic.

Role-playing and human-factor integration:

  • Increases scenario realism

  • Exposes communication and decision-making risks

  • Improves instructor observations and debriefs

  • Anchors innovation projects in operational reality


What I support

I provide structured role-playing and human-factor integration for:

  • Simulator training programs

  • Technology adoption pilots

  • Operational innovation projects

  • Human-machine interface evaluations

Typical activities include:

  • Development of behavior scripts aligned with objectives

  • Scenario design review with a human-factor focus

  • Delivery and coordination of professional role-players

  • Post-scenario analysis to support decisions and improvements


Typical use cases

  • Enhancing realism in simulator-based training

  • Testing new procedures under realistic stress conditions

  • Validating operational concepts before fleet-wide rollout

  • Improving communication and team coordination

  • Supporting technology and innovation pilots


What you can expect

  • Realistic human behavior in controlled environments

  • Consistent role execution across sessions

  • Clear links between behavior and performance outcomes

  • Insights that support decisions, not just observations


Let’s add human realism

Whether you are delivering training or testing new ideas, human behavior plays a critical role. Let’s ensure your scenarios and pilots reflect real-world conditions.
