"Playing the business simulation gave me a clear view of the interdependencies across departments—marketing, finance, operations, and more. It helped me identify the specific skills each team needs to perform effectively in real-world scenarios. Beyond that, I saw how strategic thinking can be taught in a dynamic, engaging way. This is exactly the kind of training our workforce needs to break silos, collaborate smarter, and drive real business results."
