| About Us | Information about organizations that we have worked with and the simulations that we developed for them. | |
| Our Services | Providing Simulations | Professional Editions |
| We can provide simulations in a range of ways and versions to meet your needs exactly. For most of the simulations you can download documentation and, for many you can download an evaluation copy. | Academic Editions | |
| Special Editions | ||
| Simulation Rental | ||
| Running Simulations | ||
| Any simulation can be supplied on a fully tutored basis. And, this may be attractive if the simulation is only to be run a few times, is very complex or is being used with a very large group. | ||
| Simulation Development | ||
| Our design experience and approach means that we can deliver a simulation to meet your needs in a fraction of the time needed by our competitors. | ||
| Supporting Training Consultants | ||
| Although we are happy to run simulations for organisations, we do not run courses directly. Rather we provide a way for training consultants and training providers to enhance and add to their offering. | ||
| Product Range | The
Challenge Series Basic simulations that allow managers to appreciate the operation of a total enterprise. They last about a day and covering different industries. They are widely used on business and fiancial appreciation courses, on assessment centres and at company conferences. |
The Casino Challenge |
| Our range consists of a comprehensive range of simulations covering training needs and industrial situations. These are organised into several families that address similar needs and have similar durations. | The Distribution Challenge | |
| The Executive Challenge | ||
| The Foundation Challenge | ||
| The Management Challenge | ||
| The Retail Challenge | ||
| The Service Challenge | ||
| Extended Challenges Extended slightly longer versions of the Challenge Series focusing on specific learning objectives and industry issues. |
EXSTRA - Exploration of Strategy | |
| QUAD - Quality Advantage | ||
| RESERVE - Research & Development | ||
| SYCOPS - Systems Company Operations | ||
| The
Strategy Series Simulations for middle to senior management, focusing on business strategy in differing industrial environments. |
BIONIQUE - Chemical/Phamaceutical Industry | |
| CISCO - Contract Business | ||
| FINESS - Financial Services Simulation | ||
| Global Operations | ||
| INTEX - Industrialising Nation | ||
| LOGISTIQUE - Service Industry | ||
| SMART - Service Marketing | ||
| TECHNIQUE - High Technology | ||
| The
Tactical Series Simulations focusing on the tactical management and control of a total business. They explore the need to manage and control the internal operation of a business efficiently. |
Management Experience | |
| PROFESS - Professional Services Simulation | ||
| UMIX | ||
| The
Functional Series Simulations focusing on the issues of a specific functional area (such as sales or production). So, they allow line management from the function to develop and hone their skills as they attempt to manage the function effectively and efficiently. |
PROTEST – Project Management | |
| SMITE - Sales Management | ||
| TEAMSKILL - Production Management | ||
| The
Concepts Series Short (two to three hour) simulations that explore a single business concept. These are ideal to challenge understanding, reinforce a knowledge building session. Their short durations mean that they fit into spare moments (such as after dinner on a course or at a management meeting).. |

| Learning Models | Learning Needs Model | Exploring Knowledge |
| These pages explore the learning models and issues asociated with using simulations for management development and business training of business people | We analysed some two thousand runs of computer simulations on management training courses to determine why organisations use them to deliver managerial learning and enhance courses. | Developing Skills |
| Motivational Aspects | ||
| Assessing Needs | ||
| Enhancing Learning | ||
| Adult (andragogic) Learning Model | ||
| This page explores how adult learners differ from learners in school and university. It contrasts pedagogic instruction with andragogic learning. | ||
| The "Learning Ladder" | Business Success | |
| This attempts to present the work of educationalists a form that relates to business people and provides a strategic structure to managerial development initiatives. So the concepts behind it drawn from the work of Bloom, Bateson, Kolb and Knowles etc. | Practicing Decision-Making | |
| Creating Wisdom | ||
| Building Experience | ||
| Knowledge Practice | ||
| Managerial
Competency Models This page explores three managerial competency models that have been used on assessment centres. |
||
| Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle | ||
| Our simulations are designed to be used by groups of business people with the process managed by a trainer. | ||
| Team
Learning Model We believe that effective managerial learning involves small groups (teams) of managers sharing knowledge & experience and presenting, promoting and negotiating views. This page explores this belief - first asking why this is necessary and second by describing why team learning provides for these needs |
||
| Tutor
Managed Learning Model This page explores the role of the tutor in terms of administration, facilitation and learning management. |
||
| Deep Smarts | ||
| An article and book that discuss "How to Cultivate and Transfer Enduring Wisdom" | ||
| Systems Dynamics Process Model | Workload | |
| This ensures that our simulations deliver learning effectively, efficiently and consistently. | Cognition | |
| Affection | ||
| Tutor Support System | Help System | |
| This explores the role of the simulation software to support the trainer and the training process in terms of administration, facilitation and learning management support. | Decision Screen | |
