Within our programmes, participants become engaged in an experience that mirrors the pressures and challenges faced in a real-world situation. In the debrief which follows, they discover powerful learning when their experiences are linked to their situations back on the job. This approach fosters an environment of accelerated learning through self-discovery and participation.

Experiential learning achieves this by:

Creating a thirst for learning
Many adult learners resist changes that require them to look at the world differently. Trainers can spend days lecturing, explaining, and coaching without making a dent in the learners' worldviews. Our business simulations can transform that resistant energy into a thirst for learning. Participants open themselves to ideas, values, and new behaviours that they would have rejected before participating in one of our simulations.

Practising skills under real world conditions
Most people can listen, nego­tiate, resolve conflict, coach, give directions, or be assertive in a training exercise devoid of pressure. However, to be truly effective, one must use these skills under less than perfect situations - around anger and hostility or under deadlines.

Simulations mimic real world conditions. When partici­pants practice new behaviours and try on new attitudes under the "real world" conditions of a simulation, they gain insights that are unobtainable when lis­tening to a lecture, viewing video, or practising an isolated skill in other training sessions.

Creating “AHA” moments
Many participants main­tain the fiction that they believe "A" when their behaviour clearly shows that they believe "B." This is especially true of attitudes towards people of another race, gender, or culture. In our simulations, these contradictions of belief and behaviour are confronted and examined. This process often creates an "aha" experi­ence that permanently changes the participants' assumptions about the world and their inter­actions with other people. Such experiences can literally change people's lives. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens often enough.

Becoming conscious of their own competence
Participants often know more than they think they know. Our simulations help them discover the underlying principles that make them competent. These experiences help them build confidence in their ability to correct mistakes and improve their performance.

Confronting emotionally charged issues - safely
We often use symbols and metaphors in our simula­tions. These symbols and metaphors make it easier for participants to talk about diffi­cult or taboo topics. For example, most employees and managers do not want to talk about power -who has it, who doesn't, how it is used in their organisation. After confronting, dissecting, and responding to the way power is used in the activity, partici­pants are willing and eager to use the same metaphors and symbols to talk about power in their own organisations.

Enjoying the many benefits of team development quickly
Increased honesty, greater acceptance of divergent points of view, higher trust, and greater risk taking, all occur after an effective simulation of two or three hours. These ben­efits often take days to develop in a workshop that does not use our simulations.

Successfactory has an extensive client list made up of blue-chip multinationals and companies of all sizes across a wide range of industries including healthcare, IT, manufacturing, public sector, food, retail, consulting and financial.
