What are they?

• An opportunity for your delegates to practice the skills and techniques they need to succeed in a realistic and challenging business situation.
• A team of business actors, with a complex brief, create a bespoke, and sophisticated simulation of a business environment.
• Course participants practice and learn with no risk involved.

How do they work?

• Business actors' roles are carefully researched and constructed to link in with other simulated characters, for example, to make up the management team of a fictional company.
• The simulation can be played out in 'real time' over the session (from half a day to two days).
• Participants can meet with characters numerous times over the session and these meetings can be video-taped for later analysis.
• Delegates later receive constructive feedback from the actors and trainers and can review video evidence to support learning.

What they offer the opportunity to practise:

• 'Gaining entry' and building relationships with clients.
• Gathering information using questioning and listening skills
• Working as a team to achieve objectives.
• Facilitating meetings with a number of clients.
• Analysing problems and identifying opportunities for the company.
• Exploring the impact of relationships between characters.
• Identifying opportunities to add value or sell new services.
• Presenting reports back to senior clients or other team members.
• The use of different styles and approaches in a safe environment.
