Harvard Business Publishing, the premier source for management
practices, programs and content, this month will launch four new
simulation courses that model real business situations. Simulations deliver world-class content in realistic environments that model actual
business situations and give managers first hand experience to sharpen
their communication, analytical and decision making skills.
The four simulation topics derive from the award-winning Essential
Leader line of leadership and management courses from Harvard Business
Publishing. They are:
Productive Business Dialog "“ improve
communication effectiveness to produce actionable outcomes
Managing Difficult Conversations "“ uncover
the real data and reasoning underlying disagreements, and build
collaborative conclusions
Negotiating for Results "“ prepare for and
conduct effective negotiations that find common ground for
opportunities and value creation
Leading Teams with Emotional Intelligence "“ drive high performance by recognizing, regulating and improving the
emotional intelligence of teams
"Research shows how useful simulations are for
preparing managers to handle situations, because they experience the
consequences of their own decisions," said
Peter McAteer, managing director and vice president of Harvard Business
Publishing´s corporate learning division. "The
feedback our programs provide, drawn from the work of experts in the
field of business management, is immediate and geared toward helping
those managers make better decisions while on the job."
Managers using Simulations enter an immersive learning environment to
learn how to prepare for real-world situations that require them to
think on their feet to get winning results. Similar to an actual
conversation, the learner chooses from alternative paths that produce
different outcomes for each situation. The learner drives the
conversation, makes choices at decision points, faces consequences, and
receives immediate feedback.
Each Simulation course features an onscreen Guide who provides
direction, support, and feedback on demand. The Simulations include
videos, tools, quizzes, scenarios and articles from Harvard Business
Review, as well as other top sources. Action plans give guidance for
applying concepts on the job. Self-assessments enable users to reflect
on lessons learned. As with all courses from Harvard Business
Publishing, the flexible design allows Simulation features to be woven
into corporate leadership development programs to support both
self-directed and group action learning.
