Simulations and Scenario-Based Learning

Business Simulations are immersive experiential events that help executives explore opportunities, threats and vulnerabilities, and play out different possibilities for the future. These engaging events are ideally suited to help executives make better choices and take more decisive action, especially in uncertain environments. They enable teams to test strategies and experience likely responses, as well as realize unintended consequences of their actions in a learning environment that mirrors their real world. We create unique, customized programs to simulate market-changing competitive events and implementation of critical processes. These rich, realistic experiences enable participants to step out of their accustomed ways of working to inhabit different roles and perspectives.

For many years, scenario exercises have been a key element of strategic planning. Working with scenarios — dynamic snapshots of future environments — triggers powerful learning for individuals and organizations. Not only do scenarios help people prepare for the future, but the process has rich secondary benefits. Recognizing that, we adapt the ground-breaking scenario methodology of the Global Business Network to create custom learning experiences. Scenario Learning is an ideal process for working with executives to develop adaptability, foresight, judgment, collaboration and creativity, as well as build a deep understanding of the external forces driving their business. The team-based process is engaging, interactive and intense — well-matched to executive intellects.
