BUSINESS GAMING
Business Simulations for Effective Learning
Continuous learning is a must for managers in today’s ever more complex business world and probably the best way of learning is on-the-job. However, learning on-the-job this has some disadvantages as well: it takes a lot of time, in many occasions there are no tutors or mentors at hand for support with reflections and feedback and, above all, mistakes are normally not allowed.
Business simulations are a great alternative to complement on-the-job learning: they come very close to real-life situations; they’re very intensive and therefore highly effective; they’re fun to participate in; they’re safe (mistakes allowed!) and above all, they can be done in a relatively short timeframe.
Fundamental ways of reaching objectives with companies
There are fundamentally two ways of successfully getting where you want to go with your company: management via projects and via cross-functional collaboration in processes. Both are difficult and complex, they both require a lot of specific knowledge and skills. Both benefit from specific training and both can be trained via business simulations.
