Project Management Simulation

Spread

The SPREAD Business Simulator lets Teams plan and Simulate any kind of project. Spread covers “Build” Projects, “Adoption” Projects and Combination Projects. Build Projects can range from agile software development products to physical construction programmes, while Adoption Projects include the likes of Change Management Programmes (internal communities) to New Product Launches (external communities). A key element of SPREAD is Risk Management.

This Project Management Simulation can be run 'off-the shelf' and can also be very easily adapted for the types of project in your Organization/Industry.

As Participants engage with the Simulation they will need to consider product fitness, organizational readiness, word-of-mouth, user adoption, risk management and internal plus external changes.

A Team that has experienced SPREAD will be better equipped for any future major Projects or Programmes, with an understanding of what is really involved and ready to envisage it, plan it, identify the key risks and manage more effectively when the unexpected happens!

Change is Perturbation: You don’t really “manage” change. It’s a living thing. You perturb it. If the impact is positive you can do more of the same otherwise you must try something else.
