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.

Business Simulations for Leadership Development

Learners learn through experience, engagement, and reflection. By presenting multidimensional business challenges that encourage leaders to consider situations from multiple perspectives, Insight Experience simulations create the space for all three of these elements. 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 making connections between actions and outcomes in the context of their organization. Business simulations provide hands-on experience while allowing participants to make risk-free choices in a controlled environment. The result is not just learning; it is a 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.
