Employability

Adaptable lifelong learners who can think through the fast-changing landscape of work are invaluable. Increasingly, organisations seek critical thinkers with insight and the ability to reflect. Teamworkers who can read social cues and act accordingly are sought after.

SimVenture develops these skills. The business simulation offers an authentic, rich and organic learning experience that reflects the complex management of money, time, skills, tiredness and stress. Since SimVenture immerses people (either as individuals or teams) in a dymamic learning environment, much greater demands are put on them to think, collaborate and learn from success as well as failure. 

Employment

People who think innovatively and laterally, beyond their area of specialism are increasingly valued. Understanding how a whole business runs allows an employee to make more informed contributions and decisions, which sets them apart. Such ‘Inntrapreneneurs’ typically offer new perspectives which also allows them to create and/or develop new ideas within an organisation.

Using SimVenture, people can view business from a broader perspective and acquire a strategic mindset. Users are also better able to articulate thinking (at interviews, meetings and presentations) as they have repeatedly faced complex business choices within the simulation and thus understand the subject matter.

As a result of using SimVenture, people are better able to understand business problems and see opportunities. As a consequence they are capable of making better judgements and decisions and critically, have a greater capacity to lead.

Self Employment

In addition to the points made above, Research also shows that people who use SimVenture develop higher levels of self-confidence and self-efficacy. Being able to practice running a simulated business allows people to fail in a safe environment and thus learn crucial lessons which would otherwise cost money and time and/or lead to business failure.

SimVenture also lets people into a ‘future world’ where they become far more skilled at asking high quality and relevant questions of trainers, teachers and mentors – the answers to which increase their chances of both business survival and business growth.
