Business Simulations - Tips for Leaders as Trainers

Hello World-

Welp, as you have probably already noticed, there's been a bit of a lag in blog posts about business simulations and serious games. There's a good reason: Summertime! Its not an excuse, just a reason.

Anyway, let's talk about:

Tips for Leaders as Teachers Using Business Simulations



Tip 1: Train Your Leader Well! - The leader is going to think they "are all set." Chances are, they aren't. Thus, it's your job to ensure the leader to very well prepped and trained. Make sure you (or an outside facilitator) does at least three business simulation facilitations with them. This will pay off in the end.

Tip 2: Keep It Simple - Business Simulations for Corporate Training and Development are complicated. Try to introduce the leader as trainer to a more simple business simulation solution. Start small and build up.

Tip 3: Choose Your Leaders Wisely - Don't go for the 'highest leader', go for the best leader! This means find a leader that is excited to teach others, get involved, and is entertaining. The leader will have a good time and the participants will as well.

Choosing leaders to facilitate a business training simulation program is tough. Take your time! Choose wisely and the effort up front will pay dividends later.

Hope this helps!
