Digital Transformation Simulation Training
By taking our Digital Transformation Simulation Training you will be able to learn and experience how to lead complex transformation at companies with workforces that range from 500 to several hundred thousand in size.
With 1000’s of transformations struggling, stalling, or not even getting started, demonstrates the massive shortage of transformation management capability throughout the world. Many senior managers and leaders are suffering because while they understand how to manage and lead their “operational” business, they typically don’t have the time, knowledge, or experience to successfully manage and lead the “transformation” of their business.
Our training will enable you to go through 4 rounds of simulation training in a dynamic environment making the training more engaging and fun.

Reviews
“Simulation training enables the mindsets required to make DevOps a success, whilst giving all support teams a better appreciation of how ITSM & DevOps are essential and complementary and will ensure you deliver quicker, better & cheaper – whilst delivering on time within budget and to the complete satisfaction of the business more consistently.”
– Steve Sheppard, Head of IT Service Management at L&Q
“My team and I recently went through the Digital Transformation Simulation Tool workshop and this allowed us a new and unique way to look at Digital Transformation overall. As technology professionals, most of us have attended numerous training and workshops on the subject but this was different. We as a group decided to go ahead with an open mindset and not with a lot of expectations, that helped us to see the benefits of the tool and the session. The best thing about the platform is it being a “Gaming Tool” which allows users to feel and do things as if in real life. The platform simulates real life situations in a gaming and competitive environment which is really an excellent way of understanding Digital Transformation.
Overall, the Digital Simulation Experience was very unique and we had an excellent session with a lot of ‘takeaways’ for our Digital journey.”
– Sunando Chaudhuri, Head of IT at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC)
“My team and I recently undertook the Digital Transformation training using the simulation tool and found the whole experience both reassuring and enlightening.
The tool enables us to step outside of our usual day to day activities and consider digital transformation and improvement in a neutral, safe environment. Not being about our organisation enabled lots of conversations in the team that would have been quite provocative had they been initially focused on our own internal ways of working. That said, the team took great inspiration from these discussions and went on to relate these changes we felt we needed to drive in our own division and the wider organisation.
We gained great reassurance from a number of conversations the activity provoked, particularly around balancing stabilisation with the need to drive improvements in a more agile way, as these aligned with not only existing views but challenges we have already been discussing.
The session resulted in ongoing conversations continuing with new vigour and exploration of ideas we’d otherwise have not considered.”
– Head of Service Management Office at a Leading Russell University Group
