Global Business Simulation: Tips To Execution

Hello SimDevGroup Community:
Are you rolling out a global business simulation program? Looking for some tips from a company that has facilitated a global business simulation on 3 different continents at the same time?
Top 3 Tips to Managing A Global Business Simulation:
Tip 1: Give yourself extra time! You are going to find that facilitating a global business simulation takes longer than you think. This applies to almost every aspect of the program. You'll run into electricity issues, language issues, time different issues, concept issues, etc... Just count on everything taking longer. Build in time buffers!
Tip 2: Get help from local contacts- When you facilitate a global business simulation, get assistance from contacts in the local geography. They will be able to assist with transportation, setup, etc... You'll find the local contact invaluable!
Tip 3: Get ready for lack of sleep. With the combination of time changes, travel, and setup, a global business simulation will take the sleep right of you. Our tip? Drink lots of water and remember, you will catch up on sleep eventually.
We can't emphasize enough the fact that running a global business simulation is challenging. We also can't emphasize enough that its also very rewarding. Have a great time, learn from the culture(s), and don't forget to drink a lot of water.
We hope this helps!
