Financial Intelligence

Senior leaders of an enterprise need to communicate effectively to stakeholders about business metrics and evaluate financial data to make informed business decisions. Abilitie’s embedded Finance Challenge simulation offers a safe environment to experiment with business levers to see the impact of executive-level decisions in real time. It gives participants practice using financial data to make decisions that drive business value.

Our Senior Leader Program also integrates thought-provoking case study discussions to enhance the development experience. The case studies go hand in hand with online content that meets your leaders where they are and equips them with the right tools and resources to handle organization-wide challenges that come their way.

Executive Intelligence

Our solutions for Senior Leaders offer your learners the opportunity to practice leading large cross-functional teams, making strategic decisions, and executing in VUCA environments. Our Executive Challenge simulation lets participants fully inhabit their positions as organizational leaders and learn from their own actions and mistakes in a safe environment. Through research-based Socratic debriefs and simulated practice scenarios, participants hone their executive decision-making skills. They gain a deep understanding of the trade-offs they make in their own careers and practice working through difficult scenarios and situations. 

Our Executive Challenge simulation can be integrated into your custom-built program to help your Senior Leaders:

  • Recognize personal leadership strengths and weaknesses
  • Hone executive-level business acumen, strategy, and execution skills
  • Coordinate, communicate, and lead others across matrixed functions
