Case Challenges | 2-Hour Skill-Building Simulations

Build Leadership Skill Inside a Living StoryCase Challenges place leaders inside dynamic business dilemmas where they must decide, adapt, and reflect as the story evolves. Each two-hour, instructor-led experience uses AI to make decisions visible and outcomes meaningful.

Why Case Challenges WorkCase Challenges are designed to help leaders grow through experience, not content consumption.

Decisions unfold within a continuous narrative, allowing choices to play out over time and shape what happens next.
Two-hour sessions deliver rich, immersive learning that fits into busy schedules and can stand alone or integrate into broader programs.
Faculty-led debriefs translate observed behaviors into practical, actionable development moments.
Adaptive AI analyzes participant dialogue and decisions to deliver real-time feedback and behavioral insights.

How Case Challenges workLeaders learn best by doing. Case Challenges are built around a simple, repeatable flow that turns realistic decisions into insight leaders can use immediately.

Immersive, realistic scenarios

Participants step into realistic business situations, work in teams to navigate complex, connected decisions, engage with virtual stakeholders, and see how their choices shape the narrative.

Guided expert debriefs

With guidance from seasoned faculty, participants review the decisions they made, compare outcomes across teams, and surface the leadership habits and thinking patterns that emerged.

Transferable insights for the real world

Participants connect insights to real workplace challenges, identify practical actions they can use immediately, and clarify how they will approach similar decisions on the job.

Transformative learning with universal dilemmas

Influencing Without Authority: Leaders diagnose stakeholder dynamics, build alignment across competing interests, and practice influencing outcomes without relying on formal authority.
Navigating Critical Conversations: Leaders guide high-stakes conversations, deliver clear feedback under pressure, and rebuild alignment and trust within teams.
Creating Strategic Alignment: Leaders assess strategic fit, navigate competing priorities, and recommend a clear path forward in complex, cross-functional environments.
