This experiential learning simulation develops the professional knowledge and soft skills necessary for understanding and applying business strategy. Module instruction includes a combination of assigned readings and simulation. The purpose of this module is to learn, develop, and apply the professional knowledge and soft skills associated with business strategy in the workplace.
The learning hub for this module is OneDay, a multi-episode Interactive Learning eXperience (I-L-X) business simulation that teaches learners about the concept of business strategy, communications, time management, critical thinking, and business decision-making. OneDay introduces and reinforces how to make good business decisions and develop viable business strategies.
OneDay is a business simulation experience that follows Emma, an employee of an airline company, who is a relatively new employee of a company called North South Airlines. Through Emma, the simulation addresses a strategic issue for North South Airlines. Emma assesses her environment, gathers information along the way from various characters and other information sources, makes decisions, and then presents recommendations.
OneDay is designed to engage learners in the completion of real-world activities whereby the learner can apply and demonstrate mastery of the knowledge and skills needed in today’s business environment.
The Leading Edge Learning® modules are created specifically for today’s learners who demand interaction and engagement with online learning opportunities. Sequential presentation of largely static content in page-after-page delivery is not the best delivery experience for adult learners.
