FAQs?!

What are business simulations, and how do they work?

Business simulations are interactive learning experiences that mimic real-world challenges in a controlled environment. Participants engage in a simulation, followed by a debriefing session to reflect on their experiences and lessons learned. Finally, a business application workshop helps translate these insights into actionable strategies for the workplace. We utilize Kolb’s Learning Cycle, which emphasizes experiential learning through (1) playing the simulation, (2) debriefing, and (3) applying the knowledge to real business situations.
