Generic simulations build generic acumen
Most acumen simulations hand your leaders an invented company and call it practice. We build the simulation on your business — your market, your numbers, your constraints — so the acumen your leaders build is the acumen your P&L actually needs. Three tiers, from systems thinking to a live stock market.

The world's largest shoe company ran this tier so leaders could feel systems thinking instead of hearing about it: from the factory to the merchandising team to the retail floor, every decision rippling into everyone else's ordering. Leaders stop optimizing their silo the day they watch their call create someone else's problem.
The same simulation adds pricing and profit — teams compete in a zero-sum market built on actual demand and actual numbers. Each leader runs a business unit; together they learn what leading a leadership team means, because the market punishes a table that can't align.
The top tier adds a live stock market: teams compete, form partnerships, and can buy each other out. Bombardier used this tier to practice competing for contracts, winning them with partners, and executing — before doing it for real.
Every simulation vendor in this category gates pricing behind a demo. Here is ours.
Custom simulation
$10,000–$25,000
Design, build, and the first live cohort — scoped to your business and the tier your leaders need.
Dispersed virtual access
$99/person/year
Every leader and every future cohort keeps practicing on the same simulation.
The acumen simulation is one member of the family. See the full category in business simulation training, how to compare providers in business simulation companies, and the leadership-under-pressure side in leadership simulation training.
A live experience where teams run a whole business — pricing, capacity, cash, talent — and feel how the pieces connect. Acumen stops being a course topic and becomes a reflex, because participants live the consequence of their own calls instead of reading about someone else's.
Those platforms are built on the same basis as ours — the difference is they're generic. Your leaders run an invented company in an invented market, and the lessons stay invented. The most immersive thing you can do is let your team practice running your own company at zero risk: your market, your numbers, your competitors. That's what we build.
The category hides pricing behind demo calls; here's ours. A custom simulation — design, build, and the first live cohort — runs $10,000 to $25,000 depending on scope and tier. Dispersed virtual access afterward is $99 per person per year.
Teams of participants each run part of the business, live, with a facilitator setting the conditions and the market responding to their calls. Rounds of decisions, visible consequences, and a debrief that translates what the room just learned into the decisions on your desks. Participants with decades of experience say the same thing after: "I now understand how all the pieces come together better."
Three tiers, matched to scope: leaders building the enterprise view, leaders of leaders adding pricing and competitive judgment, and executive teams competing on the stock-market tier. Finance and strategy teams use it too — it's the fastest way to give non-financial leaders a working feel for the P&L.
