Transform! Program Designs
Below we have outlined how the Transform! Simulation can be integrated into a larger academic program design. Get in touch for discussing how we can work with you on a program design.
2-Day Program on Strategic Management
This 2-day program has 15 hours of ‘teaching time’. Of these, 9 hours are spent ‘in simulation’. This allows for a good, hands-on experience with the Transform! Simulation.
