With organisations today demanding fast, fluid, and future-focused learning as leadership expectations evolve rapidly in AI-enabled, digitally transformed contexts, as the research shows, traditional leadership programs are no longer meeting organisational needs.
With organisations facing growing pressure to build strategic, financially fluent, and adaptable leaders, there is an increasing recognition of experiential learning – one where leaders can practise decision-making in realistic scenarios, thereby driving deeper behavioural change, as opposed to passive, instructor-led formats.
Business simulations are gaining prominence as a way to create safe-to-fail environments where leaders can practise real-world decision-making. Immersive, scenario-driven contexts can accelerate capability building, reinforce enterprise-wide thinking, and strengthen leadership confidence.
In this roundtable hosted by People Matters in association with award-winning global leadership development company Abilitie, CHROs and L&D heads will examine how simulation-based learning can not only transform leadership pipelines but also drive measurable business impact significantly.
Why practice outperforms passive learning: How can experiential learning, from practice, feedback, and reflection, build capability more effectively than knowledge-only approaches?
Building enterprise mindset through simulation: How can simulations help leaders to understand the financial drivers of business, strengthen cross-functional collaboration, navigate trade-offs and competing priorities, and think strategically under pressure?
Embedding simulations into leadership journeys: How can organisations integrate simulations into early leadership development, mid-level manager acceleration and senior leadership strategy labs and succession planning frameworks
Linking leadership practice to business performance: What metrics organisations should track to ensure that practice-based development translates into improved productivity, innovation, and profitability.
