Advantexe business simulations reveal that certain basic frameworks of business strategy and execution can be applied to any business ecosystem. However, we also understand that what may be effective in one industry, may not be effective in another. That’s why Advantexe works directly with each client to develop specialized solutions by industry.

This specialization along industry lines has enabled us to develop a deep understanding of our client's business ecosystem, industry trends, and opportunities they face every day. This in turn has helped us to develop over 60 different industry-specific programs that provide a clear understanding of the systems of the industry so that we can further provide business simulation-centric learning journeys that help professionals surpass business goals. The following are just a few overviews of our most popular simulations. To learn more, contact us jim.brodo@advantexe.com
