Looking for something new? Constructively fun? Thoroughly engaging? Over the last 25 years, George Smart has wowed audiences of 12 to 400 through leadership development simulations. Unlike conventional training, simulations provide extraordinary interaction and a bottom-line focus praised by business, scientific, and technical participants alike. Much like airline pilots fly simulators before handling the controls of a real plane, your audience builds management skills and knowledge without the risk and cost of on-the-job trial and error.
Our Tipping Point Simulation, for example, offers strategies and strategy combinations to sustain workplace change: How to set up major corporate changes to succeed through a realistic, hands-on project with timeframes, budget, and employee resistance. Participants learn how to create and sustain major change that gets past "flavor of the month." 12 to 60 people per half-day session.
The Tipping Point Simulation is just one of many engaging simulations we offer. Our programs are:
Efficient: In only half a day, participants face a realistic, complex problem requiring effective leadership and decision-making.
Engaging: Participants are actively engaged, no matter what their level of education, more than traditional classroom exercises, demonstrations, or videos.
Scalable: Most programs handle groups from 8 to 400 people.
Relevant: Simulations reinforce adult learning principles and provide multiple "Aha's" relevant to your workplace.
Interactive: High direct participation builds greater ownership in learning outcomes.
Entertaining: Participants really enjoy themselves, and unlike role plays, participants do not have to "act." The behaviors, emotions, personalities and ethical motives which guide their decisions are their own.
Focused: drawing from content expertise in team development, project management, communication training, and change management.
Clients include Boeing Leadership Center, Bayer, Microsoft, Cisco Systems, Red Hat, IBM, Duke University Medical Center, Crane, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University Leadership, The Johns Hopkins University, Harvard Business School, Nortel, Suffolk University, GMA, ASCE, NSPE, TLC Engineering, GlaxoSmithKline, RH Donnelley, Research Triangle Institute, the NIEHS, the CIA, and many more.

Managing Change The Tipping Point Simulation
: The ability to change and adapt is, for most firms, the most important competitive advantage.
Situation: Most corporate change efforts never get their desired results, especially concerning changes in corporate culture (re-engineering, CRM, teambuilding, quality, coaching, just-in-time, etc.).
