Transformative Simulation (TfS) Infographics
This collection of infographics has been developed to support simulation practitioners, educators, researcher’s and leaders in intentionally designing simulation for systemic and cultural change.
These visual resources illustrate key concepts from the Transformative Simulation (TfS) framework (Weldon et al., 2023) and are intended to be used as practical tools to spark reflection, guide planning, and support conversations around impact. They are free to download and use, but we kindly ask that you reference the work appropriately when citing or sharing publicly.

Please note that these infographics are illustrative in nature. More detailed explanations, real-world examples, and practical applications will be included in an upcoming book dedicated to Transformative Simulation.
If you’re interested in shaping and expanding this work further, we warmly invite you to join the ASPiH Transformative Simulation Special Interest Group (TfS SIG)—a growing community of practitioners exploring the future of simulation as a tool for meaningful change.
