When marketing executives ask 'what-if' questions, the answers can be found by surveying markets (a somewhat long and expensive research technique) or by using computer simulation techniques, such as those afforded by the software program known as Scribe. Scribe was developed by Alan Frost, a clinical psychologist and owner of Frost International, a London business consulting firm. Among Scribe users are: Coca-Cola, Polaroid, Nissan, and Unilever. The excessive cost of Scribe has made it difficult to market to smaller companies; consequently, Frost developed Sandpiper. Sandpiper is a contractually based service that provides simulation of entire markets, thus allowing customers to 'share-out' the costs of its services.

Financial education needs to become a part of our national curriculum and scoring systems so that it’s not just the rich kids that learn about money.. it’s all of us.
