The hive of business knowledge

What we help with

Skills

Knowledge

Gain business experience through. Both contextual and business knowledge.

Ability

Consider the situation, take action, examine the consequences of your action and plan your next steps.

How we do it

Accessible

Our simulations are web-enabled; so our clients use them to develop Virtual Teams all over the world. The system is easily accessible by players and participants. They simply run it from our website without the need for installation of any software.

Our instructors, who manage your simulation, provide support throughout the process with facilitators and tutors readily available around the clock.

Collaborative

Researches show that business simulations offer an extremely effective learning experience combined with a high degree of excitement. Players and participants are encouraged to explore, test and experience given subject areas, which is very different to traditional teaching methods. We work closely with our clients to explore and develop the best solution for their needs.

Our business simulations are the equivalent of the simulators used in training by students, executives and managers.

Experience
