Employees at all levels in an organization today need a higher level of business acumen. They must know their own jobs, understand how their decisions affect others, believe in their ability to impact business results, and must act in a way that is aligned with corporate goals and meets the needs of multiple stakeholders – from managers, to shareholders, to the broader community. On top of that, they must be adaptable, flexible, and pragmatic – able to embrace and lead change in demanding and uncertain times.

The TOPSIM® Business Simulations from Nexient enable learners to experience the richness of real-world situations and learn from their mistakes in a risk-free environment. Working in teams, participants in a simulation take on the decision-making roles of leaders within the simulated organization. They plan, strategize, and make decisions while taking into account many variables that influence the operating environment and success of the company.

Experience with business simulations has shown that participants learn more, and are able to retain and apply their newfound skills and knowledge. The opportunity to “fail safely” within the simulation environment allows learners to experiment and explore more freely than in the workplace. They are able to pull together the multiple strands of their learning, and integrate their learning with their prior work experience. Nexient’s TOPSIM® business simulations leverage the most powerful tenets of adult learning to produce unparalleled, high-impact skill-development experiences for participants.
