A well crafted business simulation offers the chance to road test leadership skills. When leaders are immersed in a compelling narrative in which they have to make decisions, deal with key stakeholders with conflicting motives and desires, their ability to flex, pivot and lead are being stress-tested in a dynamic and realistic way.
A simulation takes a topic - leadership in uncertainty, stakeholder management, team building, Influencing skills - and renders it in three dimensions, to create a fully immersive experience where the participants are drawn into default behaviours, both with each other and with the enacted characters. While the ramifications of their actions and behaviours are safely contained within the event, our simulations also provide space for feedback from trainers, peers and characters.
Elliot Russo Coaching has designed, written and delivered a number of intricate business simulations that blend table top activities as well as face to face interactions with characters. These simulations can run for as little as 3 hours, or as long as 2 days, and immerses an audience in a world populated by characters crafted by the writer and the client.
Simulations stress-test skills and behaviours while providing space for reflection, discussion, and feedback.
