Business Simulation Series
From conducting effective meetings and planning projects to resolving customer complaints, Human Synergistics Business Simulation Series are your solution to sharpening business knowledge and practices while tuning up teamwork skills – for double the impact on performance.
Dual purpose
The simulations in our Business Simulation Series provide the ‘how-to’ knowledge your teams need to tackle common, yet demanding, business problems and situations with expertise and confidence. At the same time, they strengthen the skills and behaviours your teams need to solve problems and make decisions effectively (and efficiently).
Flexible
Whether your objective is to energise a meeting, kick off a project, build better teams, or teach proven business strategies for dealing with specific types of problems, the Human Synergistics business simulations can be adopted with confidence. Use these versatile activities with groups new to simulations or as the perfect alternative for groups that have experienced one or more of Human Synergistics survival simulations.
All you need
A Leader's Guides is available for each of the business simulations and offers all of the information you'll need to plan and facilitate a successful program. The guides include the recommended solutions and rationales, scoring instructions, program design options, and tips for discussing the skills and processes that contribute to effective team performance.
