How To Build A Decision Simulation

Decision-making and problem-solving skills are core competencies of good managers, employees, and students. To improve these skills,
corporations and teachers at all levels are turning to decision-making simulations. These simulations are dynamic and realistic, and allow employees or students to make and test their decisions in a risk-free environment. They learn that their decisions have consequences that can impact the bottom line. Users gain skills in strategic thinking and best business practices as they experience first hand how to run a business or solve a problem.

Decision-making simulations build in an evaluation system. Was the problem resolved? Did users achieve the best results? Should they have chosen a different alternative or do they need to adjust their implementation of their alternative?

In this video, Focus Eduvation outlines how decision-making simulations work and explains their benefits. At the same time, this video showcases how we create simulations that allow users to apply learning. In many ways, the process of creating these simulations is similar to the problem-solving processes that users learn. Focus gathers information about the concept, identifies the problem that needs to be solved, formulates alternatives, and leads users toward a successful resolution. Our decisions are informed by these strategies.

As the narrator in this video says, “Discussing, setting, and meeting clients’ expectations are the primary goals of Focus Eduvation.” Positive results follow from this process.
