Business Simulations
People learn a great deal from experience. Facilitated business simulations bring concepts to life by letting participants make decisions and see their consequences — without real budgets or careers at stake.
Who it helps
Organisations that want to:
- Bridge the gap between training and practice.
- Introduce or refresh a sales, negotiation or leadership method in an engaging way.
- Create a learning event for a team meeting or kick-off.
- Mix experienced and newer colleagues so they learn from each other.
What we work on
Learning through decisions
Participants work through a realistic case, apply methods and tools, and see the effects of their choices.
Facilitated scenarios and teamwork
Small teams collaborate and compete, which encourages discussion, peer learning and motivation.
Feedback and debriefing
At each stage, the facilitator compares the teams' answers with good practice and draws out the lessons.
Applying lessons to real work
Debriefs connect what happened in the simulation to participants' own accounts, negotiations and decisions.
How an engagement can work
- — Each simulation is a facilitated, in-person or guided event — not a self-service online game.
- — The format, case and length are tailored to the audience and learning objectives; a sales simulation, for example, can run as a one-day event.
- — Simulations can support sales, negotiation, leadership and innovation programmes, or stand alone.
