- Creating a
Leadership Laboratory: Using Behavior Rich Simulations to Develop Business Leadership Capability
The barrier between where the application of rapid technology innovation permeates the more traditional
world of “face to face” learning continues to be hard to nail down. However, there is a point where the
value of direct human interface with rich human interaction, particularly in the world of leadership
development, supersedes the “wow” factor (and apparent pragmatic advantages) of the application of the
“virtual.” Integrating a “business rich” laboratory setting, dependent on live human interaction, into
a traditional business simulation is key to creating enhanced “peripheral value” of the experience.
- Consultative Joint Problem Solving
The concept of joint problem solving and partnering within the workplace and within today’s business
interactions is gaining an ever-increasing focus today. Both internal and external parties control
resources that can best be utilized/implemented through the application of a partnering mentality.
While possessing a greater depth of knowledge in consulting skills is an advantage to more
proactively partnering with internal/external customers, understanding the joint problem solving
approach and its nuances is just as, if not more, advantageous to this desired outcome.

Simulation: The Force for Accelerating Time to Value of
Corporate Initiatives
Simulation is no longer just a "training" tool but a key element
in driving business success. The best and fastest way to break
through the people and process issues that are part of any
initiative is through simulation. To get people to behave
differently - to save money and increase revenue, knowing where
and how simulation will provide the greatest benefit is
critical.

New Economy Leadership
The world moves at lightning quick speed, becoming more complex
and competitive. Leaders must reach skill levels never before
anticipated or required for success as they face increasing
global competition, volumes of information with limited time for
review, a need to educate and teach a growing diversity of
workforces, and the development of highly efficient communities
of workers. They must provide direction through a sea of chaos.
What they may find in those waters are new models of leadership.
