Why Use a Business Simulation

Business simulations enable leaders to learn about themselves through experience and feedback and to see the impact of their actions over time.

Integrative Learning

Learners learn through experience, engagement, and reflection. Insight Experience simulations create the space for all three of these elements, by presenting multi-dimensional business challenges that encourage leaders to consider situations from multiple perspectives. Leaders learn from the opportunity to pause, discuss, and decide on intentional actions.
Participants can see both pitfalls and “best approach” choices. They can practice behaviors and see the impact of their actions in rapidly telescoped time.
 

Why Use a Business Simulation?

People learn by doing and reflecting in the context of their organization. Business simulations provide experience while allowing participants to make risk-free choices in a controlled environment. The result is not just learning- it is deeper understanding about both why the learning is important and how to implement it back on the job. Business simulations are interactive, memorable, and highly effective.

"I wasn't a big fan of these conceptual trainings in the past, but the format of concept followed by simulation case study really helps reinforced the ideas as learning by doing."

"The software was amazing. I’m not sure I would ever have learned this much had I been shadowing someone in a real business environment. It was incredibly realistic, allowed me to practice skills I didn’t know I had, work closely with a team, and experience managing a company"

"I was very impressed with the simulation that we ran in our last sessions.  Over my 30+ years in retail management, I have participated in myriad training sessions and, while all contributed to my overall abilities as a more effective manager, the case studies in the Business Simulation felt the most closely connected to reality.  I even mentioned, during one of our recaps, that each scenario made me think of at least one real-world situation that I had dealt with at some time"
