Business Simulations—The Learning Accelerator
Learn how companies are using simulations to build the effectiveness of their leaders and employees in a highly interactive and engaging way. A panel of three speakers who are currently with Motorola, Zurich Insurance and Walgreens will share with you their experiences, success stories and lessons learned in utilizing business simulations within a corporate environment.
The speakers will share their own experiences in selecting and using business simulations and reveal their best practices for implementation, organization fit, and more. This is not a vendor presentation, but a panel discussion of corporate practitioners who have had success with implementing simulations with their audiences.
This promises to be a very interesting session. Example simulations will be set up for discussion and examination before and after the program.
