What to expect

This in-person workshop is set around two rounds of business simulation, and concludes with a comprehensive discussion of key takeaways. Compare different results across multiple teams, fostering a competitive yet collaborative learning environment.​

  • This board game requires teams of 3-5 seated at cabaret-style tables. Having multiple tables allows different results to be compared and creates a sense gamification.

  • ‘Training from Back of the Room’ style: connect with attendees, play two rounds of business simulation and draw out key conclusions. approx 3 hrs total.

  • Private Slack channel & enrolment in BVSSH Community

  • Tree planted for every course participant

Happier means happier colleagues, customers, citizens and climate.

Through our registered UK charity partner treesisters we will fund the planting of a tree for every candidate.

Over its life this will absorb approx. 200 times more than the CO2 emitted by your participation in a two day remote class
