Frequently Asked Questions:
Is business simulation-based training more effective than traditional training methods?Traditional learning methods – classes and seminars – have value, but even active classroom discussion rarely prompts adults to change behaviors or habits immediately. Customized business simulations shorten the learning curve by quickly showing cause and effect, and the speed of computer-based team simulations takes active interaction to the max.
Can a custom business simulation help executives implement change rapidly?A business simulation provides a risk-free environment for testing what-ifs. A team-based business simulation using your company’s data can collapse time and space so employees can see both the opportunities and the consequences of actions. Custom business simulations help build a culture that accepts change. In a global marketplace, erasing the fear of change may be the greatest asset of simulation-based employee training. Thus, a business simulation can help accelerate strategic changes.
Can a business simulation improve managers’ and employees’ focus, and thus enhance profitability?A business simulation can help managers break the myopic “our department” mentality to see how change affects other departments. Traditional learning methods take much longer to broaden perspective. Unlike generic business simulation games, custom business simulations use your company data to build reality. Thus, it’s easy to run “what ifs.” A business simulation is seductive: employees think up more “what ifs.” Long-term thinking sets in. The good and bad outcomes of business simulation exercises stick in employees’ minds. Consequently, customized business simulations sharpen employee decision-making skills.
