Support for Training Consultants This page is for trainer consultants and training providers and suggests why you should use our simulations to increase your income.

Training Consultants use our computer business simulations to:

• Enhance their training
• Enliven their training
• Add to their services
• Move away from the lecture
• Focus on developing wisdom

Because

• Of our comprehensive range
• Are based on practical experience
• Are short and focused
• Of ease of use
• Are tailorable to your clients
• Of our flexible terms and low cost
• Of our backup advice and ideas

Enhancing your training

Simulations allow business people to build understanding, develop skills and enhance the learning process by integrating & reinforcing learning, being memorable and challenging. They are one of the training methods that are particularly attractive for adult learners.

Enlivening your training

Simulations are competitive action oriented fun. Used as a course finale participants end the course on a high. Used as a break to reinforce topics, simulations invigorate participants allowing them to work longer days. Used as an icebreaker at the start of a course, they build the group and allow you to assess individuals and learning needs. Their action and results orientation address the desires and needs of adult learners.

Adding to your services

It is unlikely that you can afford the time to create your own computer business simulation let alone a range to match client needs. And, even if none of our simulations match your client's needs exactly, we can and have customised and developed new simulations for training providers. Regularly, for small and large training providers, being able to provide a suitable simulation has resulted them in winning the business.

Moving away from the lecture

Today and to an increasing extent in the future, the lecture is being replaced by E-learning and clients are expecting technology to be integral to training. Our simulations allow you to remain in the training loop acting as manager of learning utilising technology to leverage your training.

Focusing on developing wisdom

We believe that managerial learning must be concerned with developing wisdom rather than just creating knowledge. So, our learning model involves building simulated experience from a knowledge base. In turn, the marrying of knowledge, experience and decision-making practice develops wisdom that ensures that business people make wise decisions leading to business success.

Our comprehensive range

We have over forty simulations available virtually all aspects of management develop and business training. Further, many of these simulations are available in different versions and this increases your ability to match training and trainee needs. Also, often having experienced one simulation, clients ask to use simulations in future learning and our range allows for this. You are not stuck using just one simulation no matter what the learning need, the time available or the industry!

Based on practical experience

Besides developing some sixty simulations we have run them thousands of times on short courses on a turnkey basis for clients. These means that we understand both the practicalities of training and the issues associated with using simulation. We believe that this training experience/design balance gives us an major advantage over other providers.

Short and Focused

Because our simulations are short (lasting from two hours) they can fit most course formats.

Ease of use

Based on our experience of training using simulation and research into the learning process, we have built in usability, tutor support and use a standard interface. Usability means that you do not have to be a computer expert to use the simulation. Our tutor support system means that the simulation helps you deliver learning and the standard interface means that you can move easily between simulations (without having to waste time learning how to use the software).

Tailorable to client needs and wants

Each simulation is provided in several versions that allow you to match it to your training needs and course participants and are easily tailorable to new requirements. This may range from changing terminology, through adding decisions and reports to creating totally new simulations. All of these help you lock the client into your organisation.

Flexible terms and low costs

You can hire our simulations for use on an individual course or ask us to run them on your behalf. As the development of most of our simulations were sponsored our fees are very competitive. Individual course rentals mean that you can link costs directly to the course and our rentals are similar to the hire of a training video.

Advice and ideas

Our in depth experience means that we can advise you about the right simulation to use, how to use it and provide ideas for new uses (such as on business conferences, assessment centres or even as in-house management contests). The web page about how you can use simulations provides links to new ideas about how you can use simulation and, so, derive incremental business.
