Project Management Simulations Project Management Simulations
Next to mentored live practice, performance simulations are the most
powerful way to equip learners when real change is needed. Our project
management simulations include a highly interactive, intensive, and expe-
riential workshop, integrating short classroom lectures, a robust computer
simulation
of a single project, small- and large-group discussions, and team
assessments. We create a highly charged, hands-on learning environment,
which immerses participants in the world of managerial decision-making.
These programs can be tailored to the needs of your organization and
range from 3 to 5 days in length.
During the simulation, participants work in project teams to plan and
implement a simulated project over several days. They confront and resolve
a
n array
of problems associated with tasks, vendors, contractors, quality
requirements, schedule commitments, customer interactions, a staff of
v
arying
personalities, skills, and experience, and other typical project
elements. The risks of completing on time and on budget are high and are
n
ot
just random events but consequences created by prior decisions made
in previous simulation rounds. There is a need to be concerned about all
project objectives and constraints and not just sub-optimizing one project
objective. Participants must look outside their immediate area of responsi-
bility and focus on building organizational capability.
Individuals
who will benefit from this interactive experience include project
managers, team leaders, and other technical professionals. Our simulations
are complex and challenging and are principally designed for middle
management.
