Business simulations – an important part of BTS offering
Business simulations are interactive learning experiences that replicate real-world scenarios in a virtual platform. They empower leaders to improve their strategic decision-making skills, understand the interconnections within their organization, and anticipate the potential consequences of their actions. A business simulation provides a risk-free environment where leaders can experiment, make mistakes, and learn, all without jeopardizing actual business operations.
A business simulation is a strategic investment that catalyzes organizational learning, innovation, and strategic alignment. It is a commitment to nurturing a workforce that is not only proficient in its current roles but is also equipped to lead, innovate, and thrive amidst the uncertainties of the future.
The data-driven insights garnered from business simulations also empowers the leadership to make informed talent management decisions and align individual capabilities with company objectives.

BTS CEO on Simulation culture
The concept of a simulation culture, which has long been favored by the tech industry, is now rapidly making its way into the mainstream business landscape. Simulation culture is built on the idea that playing out scenarios, institutionalizing preparation, and role-playing future changes creates better decisions, improves ways of working, makes projects more profitable, improves win rates, while you get closer to your client.
Simulation culture has reached a critical point in its evolution because of the confluence of three factors.
- The explosive growth of AI combined with high performance computing abilities can now make simulation-based practices more immersive and accurate, and therefore more powerful.
- More frequent and rapidly evolving business cycles are demanding business model adaptability.
- Disappointment in the impact of most training as not being relevant enough, real-time, or at scale.
