Corporate Snakes and Career Ladders®

COMMUNICATION BUSINESS SIMULATION

Challenge your teams to stretch strategic decision-making skills at an enterprise level.

Practice what it takes to become a trusted, strategic advisor. 

In this workshop, teams play the role of Carmen Spinoza, Marketing and Communications Director for Globocorp, a fictional company. Watch Welcome to Globocorp (vidéo en français) for a peek at the simulation. The object of the game is to help Carmen navigate a series of challenges to demonstrate her strategic abilities to the executive team.
