defend: your climate change reputation
The scenario
Students take leadership roles in UK organisations at the forefront of the climate change debate. They must forge new partnerships, call out ‘greenwashing’ from competitors, and defend against criticism in the media to make the case for why their organisation is acting in the best interests of Britain.
What it involves
Horizon scanning
Developing a communications plan
Deciding team roles using psychometric tests
Creating a social media campaign
Recording ‘vox pop’ media interviews
Creating a recruitment strategy
Interviewing job candidates
Negotiating a partnership deal
Briefing your boss and assimilating difficult feedback
Participating in a televised debate
Who it’s for
Master’s students, particularly those doing MBAs or who are interested in communications and/or organisational leadership roles. You’ll need a minimum of 12 students to participate.
What students say about it
‘The adaptive design of this 3-day workshop was a genuine example of “learning by doing,” which enabled me to develop my communication and problem-solving skills. The experience was brilliant, and the authentic wisdom of the workshop will stay with me forever.’ Mehdi, University of Southampton Business School, MBA programme
Why I should consider it for my students
If you want to give your students the chance to practise their communication and creative-thinking skills in the context of a multi-disciplinary strategic project, this is the simulation to choose.
What it costs
The full simulation runs for three days (6 hours per day). It costs £10,000 + VAT for us to run it in-person, on your campus. We can also adapt the simulation to fit with your schedule, creating either a one- or two-day programme. We price these bespoke sessions after discussing with you what you need.
