Team based simulations help managers break out of the “our department” myopia to see how a change affects other departments. Traditional learning methods cannot quickly produce this shift in perspective.
Customized simulations, rather than generic simulation games, use actual company data and possibilities. Thus, it’s easy to run the ‘what if’ numbers, and doing so becomes inherently seductive: employees think up more ‘what ifs’ to run. Long-term thinking sets in. Situations explored in the simulations – both the good results and the bad results – stick in employees’ minds. Consequently, customized simulations sharpen employee decision-making skills.
Customized simulation provides a risk-free environment for testing ideas or what-ifs. A team-based simulation based on your company’s data can collapse time and space so employees can clearly see both the opportunities and consequences of various changes.
Thus, simulations help build a culture that accepts change. In a global marketplace, erasing the fear of change may be the greatest advantage of simulation-based employee training. Simulation can speed the time it typically takes to implement a strategic change and realize its business advantages.
Traditional learning methods, such as classes and seminars, have a role. Street-smart experience counts, too. But customized simulations shorten the learning curve of traditional methods by quickly and clearly demonstrating cause and effect.
Even with active classroom discussion, traditional learning methods rarely prompt adults to change behaviors or habits immediately. But the interactivity of computer based team simulations depend on active interaction and take full advantage of it.
Custom Business Training Simulations
Customized simulations help managers and employees preview risky situations – without the risk. Simulations take the drudgery out of exploring ‘what ifs,’ much the way electronic spreadsheets did with old time manual calculations. With team-based custom simulations, managers and employees learn to see how changes affect other departments and the overall company. Your staff can actually enjoy exploring change … rather than fearing it. Custom simulation can help companies develop more street-smart managers and employees by training them to think long-term and plan strategically.
