Description
This proven 1.5-day Business Strategy Simulation can be delivered live or virtually.  It immerses leaders in the complexities and implications of strategy design and strategy execution.  Participants experience realistic business outcomes based on their choices of running an enterprise in a competitive and ever-changing environment.

LSA consistently delivers for me and my team.  Recently they demonstrated the criticality for executives to look beyond current ethics topics and focus on applying fundamental values in everything they do to demonstrate true leadership. They successfully delivered in two hours what most leadership development facilitators would spend an entire day trying to communicate.
