Building Business Acumen
  The e-learning program of 7 modules uses simulations to immerse the learner in the real world environment of the problem. This encourages them to explore, take risks and deal with actual outcomes while they master new job skills. As each participant faces multiple decisions in the simulation, they will be confronted by the results of their choices and will face failures that cause them to analyze new alternatives. This begins to move them beyond just task skills and into the area of developing real judgement. :Babson School of Executive Education :Executive course
