How Does it Work?
Participants are placed in a dynamic, competitive business simulation to:
Collaborate
Balance the competing interests of their own key stakeholders while engaging with others to shape the broader economic, social, and political ecosystem.
Practice
Test their ability to empathize as they engage with peer leaders to build trust without relying on authority or formal structures.
Reinforce
Explore the concepts of reciprocity and influence relationships, leveraging persuasive communication techniques to navigate multi-party negotiations in an environment of “coopetition.”
Reflect
Facilitator-led debriefs, discussions, and exercises allow participants to reflect, gain insight from feedback, and share their own experiences.
The simulation is delivered by certified faculty with extensive leadership and training experience and seamlessly integrates with broader leadership development initiatives. Facilitator certification for client-internal trainers is available.
