What skill areas do your simulations develop?
Business simulations primarily develop applied business capability rather than theoretical knowledge. Core areas typically include:
- Financial literacy and commercial acumen
- Strategic thinking and decision making under uncertainty
- Cross functional collaboration
- Operational excellence and process improvement
- Leadership and team alignment
- Stakeholder management and influence
- Change management and transformation capability
The emphasis is on integrated decision making across functions, not isolated skill acquisition.
Are simulations suitable for senior leaders?
Yes. Senior cohorts often derive the greatest value, provided the design reflects their level of complexity.
For executive audiences, simulations focus on:
- Enterprise level trade offs
- Capital allocation and risk
- Market positioning and competitive dynamics
- Governance and long term value creation
- Organisational alignment and culture
The learning impact increases when scenarios mirror strategic ambiguity rather than operational detail.
How many participants per business simulation?
Our simulations can accommodate small groups up to large conferences
What industries benefit most?
Our signature simulations are industry agnostic, built around universal business practices and tried and tested frameworks developed by subject matter experts.
Strong adoption is typically seen in:
- Manufacturing and supply chain
- Professional services
- Financial services
- Retail and consumer focused
- Food and drink
- Technology and SaaS
- Energy and infrastructure
The determining factor is not sector, but whether the organisation seeks invest in their people to improve business outcomes.
