The Problem:

Your career success depends on getting results, but you don’t have any direct authority over the people who need to act. Building consensus and coalition amongst your stakeholders will make or break your project’s perceived success.

The Solution:

Indigo’s one-day Stakeholder Engagement™ closes the learning gap between ‘knowing what to do’ and ‘actually doing it’. For many years, team-based computer simulations have been used by medics, airline pilots, racing drivers and the armed forces, to hone their skills and reactions in life-like scenarios, without risk.

This workshop brings to life the universal challenge of gaining buy-in and building consensus across a range of people, many with conflicting agendas.

Unique to this workshop you will be pitting your wits against intelligent, interactive software (the simulation). You will engage with your “virtual stakeholders”, decide upon a course of action and deliver (and manage) the consequences. A trained facilitator will help you maximise your potential and will give a comprehensive review of the results. Through this process, you can benchmark performance and devise an individual action plan for use back in the workplace.

The simulation (based on a package originally commissioned by Shell) is used by blue-chip organisations across the globe and by many of the leading MBA programmes.

Workshop Benefits:

What is a Simulation?

Instructor-led training blends with an innovative AI business gaming simulation, to create a risk-free business scenario

“The simulation is real life and is quite interesting to put into practice in an immediate way what we learn from the course.” UK Food Manufacturer

Mistakes in simulations don’t cost anything, we combine ‘learning by doing’ with facilitator feedback, a range of knowledge, tools and techniques to help you:

1

Identify, understand, engage and manage different levels of stakeholder – whether internal or external.

2

Gain buy-in to your plans by following a consultative approach to stakeholder engagement.

3

Increase your productivity, speed up projects and manage ambiguity with more authority and confidence

Stakeholder Engagement™

Workshop Objectives:

Stakeholder Engagement™ brings to life the universal challenge of gaining buy-in and building consensus across a range of people, many with conflicting agendas. It provides risk-free practice and a practical toolkit to ensure you:

Develop Skills by Doing (Risk-Free):

▪ Consult with your “virtual stakeholders”.

▪ Decide upon a course of action, with the clock ticking.

▪ Deliver (and manage) the consequences.

▪ The skill set you need is complex. This system allows you to develop skills that are subtle and are about dealing with situations where there aren't necessarily any “right answers”.

“Very engaging. Good exercise with the simulation.”

Advantages of Simulations:

A Scalable Solution:

Change your Behaviour:

Whether you’re looking to have a small team experience the simulation, or you want to roll out the experience globally – this unique virtual element means your tailored simulation programme is ready when and where you want it run.

Flexible Solutions:

Our simulations can be incorporated into your existing online or face-to-face training programmes. Our comprehensive training-for-trainer model means you can focus precisely where and how you want our simulations to work; whether at a team building event, used to support classroom developmental learning, or for evaluating performance.

A Shared Experience:

Multiple groups of 3 people share the same experience. Groups can work in different locations, providing they have internet access.

Results-Based Learning:

Each team gets differing results depending on the quality of analysis and decisions they take. Your facilitator will help teams get off on the right foot, and then pull together and embed the key learning points at the end of the simulation.

Training Options: Train you

Public workshops are the best method for training individuals and small groups. Delivered online and across the UK, they provide a great opportunity for different companies and individuals to come together and learn the tools.

Train your Team

In-house workshops are the ideal opportunity to train teams and whole departments within your organisation. Providing clarity of training focus and excellent team building opportunities. It reduces delegate travel, workshop cost and environmental impact as we train online or at your premises, worldwide.
