It’s that time of year again where all of the “experts” share their predictions for the upcoming year.  It is with great pleasure that Advantexe shares our 5 business acumen predictions for 2017.  Our practical predictions are based on research, interviews with subject matter experts including executives from leading organizations, and our own observations from working with the world’s most successful companies and leaders.

In Advantexe’s innovative new business leadership simulation, Fundamentals of Business Leadership, one of the central characters (Ellen Astor) rips into one of her coworkers and then her boss about her frustration of working with a team that just wants to get by instead of becoming awesome.  In the simulation, her personality style is aggressive and she pushes herself and her people to achieve beyond expectations.  A little bit later in the simulation, Harold, a capable, yet core performer takes it upon himself to step up his game and tries to lead a change initiative as a result of Ellen’s pushing.  Harold is in way over his head, and as we know from situational leadership, Strong Will with Limited Skill can lead to disaster; which it does in the simulation!

The driverless classroom is here.  What is the driverless classroom?  It is a live learning experience that enables participants to enjoy the benefits of interactivity, socialization of learning, and immediate application of learning back to their jobs without the need of a “driver” (full-time instructor).
