L&D business partners can provide significant value to their organizations by helping current and future business leaders to build the resilience to operate in a turbulent (“VUCA”) world. Many challenging development questions co-exist in today’s business environment: How do we prepare senior-level directors to move into executive roles, where they will need to take business performance to the next level? How do we get our high-potentials to organize and operate as a business team, prioritize, and chart their own course as proactive change makers? How can we build business acumen, a growth mindset and emotional intelligence across functional areas? A competitive business simulation is an immersive experiential exercise that can provide a powerful testing ground to address all of these fundamental challenges that face organizations across industries.
 
Webinar participants will learn:

• How a simulation can help participants to think and act systemically as a (future) business leader – learning to see and manage connections
• How to design a competitive business simulation, how to make it interactive, and in which situations to deploy it
• How the concept of meeting commitments translates to more robust operational plans, more effective strategy execution, and better business results
