Innovation Management Simulation

Innovate

The INNOVATE Business Simulation, built with our powerful DECIDE Situational Judgement Engine, gives participants the opportunity to experience each of the key stages of an Innovation project based on a real-world Company/Product scenario.

INNOVATE presents the participants with the opportunity to become the Senior Team of a food technology Company who have a successful but ageing food processor whose sales are flatlining. Over 4 rounds the team must select and successfully implement their chosen innovation strategy to kick start the revenue growth.

Each Team’s success will be measured by 6 KPIs which include User Value, Unit Cost, Risk and New Product Revenue Share.
