Evolve’s Simulated Learning Experiences (SLE) are unique and highly interactive .

Within the experiences teams are tested via a series of scenarios. These scenarios are built into a video-based simulation that enables the audience to drive outcomes of the session.

Our simulations are customized to suit your business messaging and align your core objectives. Our SLE programs can be delivered in three formats: self-paced, virtually or face to face.

The programs focus on adventure metaphors to emotionally engage and inspire participants. We then focus on skill development discussing topics such as:

Alignment, communication, trust, decision making, leadership, transformation, creative thinking and innovation.

To succeed teams need to work together, communicate, collaborate and execute in a fast-paced dynamic environment. The programs are highly interactive, unique and a fun way to approach building a sense of team. The following 3 pages outline our simulation content.
