Business Intelligence
Our business solutions for Emerging Leaders reinforce confidence in making long-term strategic business decisions. Our Business Challenge simulation creates a practice environment to use financial data to make decisions that drive business value. Participants will put their skills to the test and learn from their successes and failures. Through expertly facilitated debriefs, Emerging Leaders will learn to more confidently communicate about business metrics and evaluate financial data. Key learning objectives include understanding the drivers of value for a business and anticipating the long-term implications of business decisions.
Enterprise Intelligence
Our solutions for Emerging Leaders offer your learners the opportunity to practice leading large cross-functional teams, making strategic decisions, and executing in VUCA environments.

Sample Program Schedule
Abilitie’s Emerging Leader Program is tailored to the needs of each client. This program is designed to take place over 8- to 10-weeks or can be spread out over multiple months as desired.
Action Learning Projects
Action Learning Projects (ALPs) are an ideal complement to our intensive simulation-based practice sessions. We work with you to identify and design projects that are adapted to your industry and company initiatives. ALPs present participants with a real-world problem that your organization has previously encountered or is currently struggling with, or an issue that you’d like to prepare your learners to face in the future. Your learners will be split into small groups to work through the assigned ALP for the duration of the program and will have a chance to apply what they learn through the blended curriculum and immersive real-world simulations.
This was the best business training exercise I have ever participated in. Better than anything in my 5 year evening MBA program.
