The Power of Practice - Simulation-centric Learning

To help learner's experience the issues of change management in a risk-free environment, every learning journey includes a change leadership business simulation. Advantexe's change leadership simulation exposes participants to various behaviors that are necessary for leaders to effectively communicate and execute change. 

The simulation works by assigning individuals to a team where they take over their defined role and make decisions in the context of this role. Through a set of scenarios, they face various operational situations and personality challenges. As teams make decisions and react to issues, the simulation's branching technology unfolds and challenges learners with a series of interrelated situations.  Participants are then measured against the competencies set specifically crafted for their role in the simulation and are provided with extensive feedback from the simulation and debriefing sessions.

Program Objectives Include: 

• How to understand and embrace the process of change
• The tools needed to set and manage expectations during a change process
• How to unfreeze and freeze behaviors
• How to become more resilient and help others in the organization become more resilient
• Make the right business decisions
