"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other." ~ John F. Kennedy

88% of CEOs surveyed in the Economist’s research report, “Why Good leadership-pod.pngStrategies Fail” indicated that executing the company strategy is critical for organizational competitiveness and success over the next few years. However, 61% of the same respondents acknowledge a big gap between strategy formulation and its day-to-day implementation. The number-one reason for this gap? Leadership.

At Advantexe, we believe that Leadership is equal to the execution of your business strategy. Developing leadership skills is critical to both the short- and long-term success of your company.

The Power of Practice - Business Simulation-centric Learning

At the heart of every leadership program, we incorporate one of our "best practices" business simulations. This type of simulation provides participants with the opportunity to learn the best practices and behaviors related to a specific model or set of desired competencies. In a group, participants assume the role of a simulated character and they must weave their way through a decision-tree storyline by making decisions, reacting to events, and interacting with virtual colleagues and employees.

At the conclusion of every simulation round, groups receive extensive feedback on their decision-making and are provided with numeric scores based upon achieving desired metrics of the simulation.
