1 Hour | Replay Archived Webinar | Download Presentation (pdf)

This webinar offers an opportunity for participants to learn how career acceleration and leadership development happens through business simulation and experiential learning. Dr. Dennis Rebelo will be engaging and co-presenting with Dr. Thomas Conine, President of TriCorp & Professor of Finance at Fairfield University, to highlight the reasons why organizations like GE, DELL and CISCO have used 3-4 day experientially driven learning opportunities to emulate real world business scenarios to ready emerging leaders.
 
Dr. Conine will share the learning design of business simulation programs and the learning factors worthy of considering when a group congregates from diverse business units. The presenters will review the way financial and accounting professionals learn – through business simulations - to find their leadership personal voice, enhance collaboration, and positively access and evolve critical thinking.
 
How knowledge transfer moves from the lived experience (inside the learning simulation) to real-world application (off-site), when leaders return to their workplace roles, provides a gateway for leadership identity evolution; Dr. Dennis will review the “returning to work” post-simulation “opportunity” showcasing ways to overcome any obstacles and positively accelerate career-pathing towards one’s leadership goals.
 
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: This webinar has the following learning objectives. At the conclusion of webinar attendees will be able to:
  • Understand how business simulations are formed to mirror real-world scenarios from a design standpoint;
  • Acknowledge how leading organizations have leveraged varied types of simulations to created opportunities for safe exploration of leadership competencies;
  • Identify specific ways to explore possible areas of leadership growth (including exploration, communication, and adaptability) that can be accessed in business simulation learning environments;
  • Examine the possible obstacles that exist during post-learning experiences (when learning-leaders return to work) as a way to help learners evolve their leadership narratives by preparing them for response to anticipated challenges.
