Hello SimDevGroup Community-
Are you trying to decide if you should use a Capstone Simulation (CapSim) or a regular Business Simulation? Hopefully, this quick article will help you decide.
Tips to Deciding if You Should Create a Capstone Simulation:
Tip 1: Assess if you need a capstone simulation: Start by asking yourself a simple question, "Am I looking to test participant skills or use a simulation to help them learn skills?" If the answer is that you're trying to teach participants skills, then go with a traditional business simulation strategy. But if you are looking to test skills delivered in previous 'classes', then go with a capstone simulation.
Tip 2: Last program or mid program: If you are going to use this simulation within one or several programs sessions, then go with a traditional business simulation strategy. If this is going to be the final part of a series of sessions, then you might want to think about positioning your custom simulation as a capstone style business simulation.
Tip 3: Would like you like it large, or manageable?: Capstone business simulations tend to be quite large, and thus, more challenging to manage.This is important to think about if you are building your own simulation or wish to facilitate it yourself.
We hope this helps you decide if you are going to go with a capstone business simulation, or a traditional business training simulation or leadership development simulation strategy. No matter which you choose, its great you're using a simulation in general.
We hope this quick post helps.
