Executive Challenge™
Your Challenge
Identifying and developing leadership talent is a critical challenge for organizations — yet traditional leadership development programs are often ineffective. Leadership is an active process; learning to lead should be as well.
Our Solution
Executive Challenge™ is a team-based, multiplayer business simulation designed to develop leadership skills. Participants play specific roles leading simulated companies. Each participant contributes to the success or failure of the business by making decisions and completing tasks as an individual — meaning every participant is actively involved in the process. Engaging the entire team underscores the need for a sound strategy and ensures that every participant understands his or her role in the execution of that strategy.
During the simulation, teams operate in a competitive marketplace. As pressures mount, participants’ true behaviors emerge, providing rich opportunities for experimentation, self-reflection, self-correction, and feedback. The impact of these evaluations is enhanced by debriefs led by experienced facilitators.
