Practicalities of Business Simulation UseHere I provide some resources to help you with the practicalities of choosing and using business simulations. But beyond this I am always ready to answer your questions and provide advice. |
|
The information on this and the link pages is based on my training and business simulations use experience over the last forty plus years. The information is largely from my book SIMULATION: Virtual Business Experience and updated in Chapters 9 to 12 in my latest book (learn more). |

Ways of Using Business SimulationsHere we provide ideas about ways of using simulation, why they are used in this way and the issues associated with using them in these ways. |
|
|
Integrating with Other LearningHere I discuss the relationship between the business simulation and prior and subsequent learning and, how different ways of using the simulation impact this. This parallels the Ways of Using Business Simulations as each of these integrate with other learning in differing ways. |
|
|
Business Learning PracticalitiesHere I explore the practical issues associated teaching business people. The issues and practicalities described here are likely to be obvious to the experienced tutor but may be useful for newcomers to training, business people and senior management who get involved in training. |
|
|
Team FormationAs my simulations are designed to be used by several small groups of learners. This page explores how to set up these teams so as to ensure that participants can learn from each other and not be overwhelmed or underwhelmed! As such it covers team size and functional, gender, management level and psychological mix. |
|
|
The Learning RoomRoom Layout is crucial to ensuring good adult learning and this explores how you should and should not layout rooms when using simulations (or layout rooms to assure good adult learning). |
|
|
Training EquipmentThere is nothing quite as awful as arriving at a training venue and finding that you do not have access to the proper equipment. |
|
|
Preparing to run a Business SimulationThis provides a check list of what you should consider when getting ready to run a simulation on your course. |
|
|
This explores how to time tabling a simulation and the issues at different stages in the simulation. |
|
|
During the simulation small teams of learners work independently on the simulation. At the end of the simulation to share, embed and ensure transfer, these teams should come together to explore, compare and review their actions. Here I explore the review purpose, team presentations, the tutor's role and choosing a winner. |
|
|
Ancillary TasksThese are additional tasks that add to the business simulation .For example, learners can be asked to prepare a formal plan or a presentation for the review. Here several tasks a described and, for each, I can provide a copy of a brief that details the task for the learners. |
 |
Running with Geographically Spread TeamsAlthough my business simulations are normally run with the whole group in one location they can be run with the learners in teams spread around the world! This page explores the benefits and problems with this, how you do it and the practicalities of tutoring. |
But having said that, if the information here does not answer or address your question please contact us.
