Executive and Management Training

Behavior changes at the level of action, not thought.

Business leaders attend countless seminars, lectures and training sessions. They also read scores of books and listen to audio tapes while driving. All of which is to provide food for thought.

Studies reveal, unfortunately, that the user’s performance remains about the same as before.

Let the Corporate Discovery Games begin!

Intentional Development knows what brings about lasting change: activities designed to stimulate excitement, imagination, and action.

Intentional Development’s Corporate Discovery Games are far more potent learning environments than passive, non-involving, non-action lectures could possibly be. These include World-Class levels of games: Business Simulations, Solution Labs, and New World Scenarios.

They involve 6 to 60 players and last from a day to a week. Each game is constructed to have its special "reality" geared to the specific needs of the organization. But the overall objectives are similar: teach participants how to find innovative solutions sharpen critical thinking skills, logic, and intuition boost creative and intentional action abilities generate involvement and motivation improve teamwork and communication

Who should play?

1. Team/project management
2. Owners and Executives of any size company
3. Managers who direct work of highly talented or difficult people
4. Corporate Training, Human Resource, and Sales Directors

Playing for change A. Business Simulations

Teams represent separate "companies" – each maximizing its strengths, striving to overcome weaknesses to compete in an unpredictable, dynamic/flux environment. Using computer-based models, the simulation can be geared to real-world problems the organization actually faces. This activity usually lasts an entire day – providing situations designed to bring out: strategic thinking decision-making primary business functions: capital, production, marketing

B. Solution Labs
	The "solution" isn't the solution in these Labs. The focus is on process. The hypothetical problems Intentional Development presents to teams have no "best" solution. They are complex and require a combination of creativity, courage, logic, and intuition to develop a solution. Indeed, Intentional Development teaches very specific techniques to help participants approach the task with imagination and on multiple levels.
Solution Labs run from 1 day to 3 days — and, logically, the longer Labs enable a greater opportunity for superior training in absorbing these techniques: the complimentary use of logic and intuition achieving and working in consensus looking, thinking, and creating solutions "outside the box"

C. New World Scenarios
Civilization is in crisis! The end is near! A new world vision is absolutely needed in order to survive. Large-scale teams are mobilized to save the world. They must create, define, and establish nothing less than new values, new systems of governing, new life-support structures, and mechanisms of social congruency. Time is running out. The efficacy of their "constructs", their "civilization engineering" must be tested. Each participant plays out a specific role in this crisis simulation.
New World Scenarios require a minimum of 2 days and can last as long as a week. The debriefing session is a major part of the experiences. Videos and other records of the entire process are reviewed — the deeper lessons are assimilated: the power of cultural influences on organizational effectiveness are revealed the importance of every team member emerges personal and organizational crisis survival is learned
