SYDNEY CAMPUS
In January 2009, a US Airways flight with 155 people on board struck a flock of large birds during its initial climb out from New York City s La Guardia Airport. Having lost power in both engines and unable to restart them, Captain Chesley Sully Sullenberger guided the Airbus A320 airliner to a wheels-up landing on the Hudson River. It was Sully s piloting skills that led to a successful ditching -- the aircraft remained structurally intact and all passengers and crew were safe. How was Captain Sullenberger able to accomplish such an extraordinary feat? Surely, he wasn t made to fly through flocks of birds or land in water during practice sessions. What helped Sully manoeuvre the flight to safety were the many hours he had put into simulator training -- a realistic training environment where he could practice overcoming these challenges without any actual risk to life or property. SOURCE: New York Daily News, The Hudson River Miracle Decision-making in the 21st century A typical organisation makes hundreds of decisions every day. From choosing between Technology A and Technology B to determining cost-cutting measures -- there is no doubt that making strategic decisions has a profound impact on the health of an organisation. And as a business manager, nothing tests your leadership mettle more than your ability to make winning decisions. In fact, the ability to make decisions, and get them right, is what separates the great leaders from the rest. What is the secret to good decision-making? In the face of immense risk, failure and uncertainty, do you rely on your gut to make the right decision? Although decision-making embodies luck and intuition, it goes beyond. Decision-making is also a science that can be learned, mastered, and honed through constant training and practice. And that is why, our objective at S P Jain and the Centre for Executive Education is to train and empower professionals at every level to structure problems, analyse risks and uncertainties, and make swift and high quality decisions. S P Jain s Centre for Executive Education has successfully injected the philosophy of simulator training to help its participants come face-to-face with the decision-making challenges that leaders face in today s business world. There is now a chance to learn and practice decisionmaking without the risks and consequences that come with making them in the real world. CAPTAIN SULLENBERGER

Learning decision-making through simulations Our Executive Education programs offer an engaged-learning environment in which the classroom is transformed into a hard-core decision-making laboratory. Sophisticated computer software simulates the real world of business and enables participants to practice decisionmaking in a safe environment and learn from the risks taken and mistakes made. Students discuss strategies, assess risks, analyse problem areas, evaluate alternatives and practice the art of decision-making. More importantly, it gives them a bird s-eye-view of the impact of their decisions, forcing them to think strategically with all the factors governing an organisation in mind. Simulations run by us are not just restricted to strategy and leadership issues. Tailored to meet any and every need of a company, be it in finance, marketing, operations or supply chain management, we apply simulations to address any management issue or concern a company may have. SIMULATIONS ON STRATEGY These simulations teach people how to evolve a business strategy to ensure a successful interface between Finance, Research and Development, Manufacturing, Sales and Marketing to help one cope with ambiguity and decision-making under uncertain situations. They help to create new opportunities making the existing competition irrelevant. SIMULATIONS ON LEADERSHIP An award-winning simulation focused on bringing out the inner leader in you, our leadership simulation exercises promote teamwork while meeting individual goals simultaneously. It challenges the users to think on a macro as well as on a micro level, and showcases how a leader has to think on the lines of a long-term strategy and pave a path for immediate action. SIMULATIONS ON LOGISTICS & OPERATIONS This simulation is focused on the supply chain and operations of a company that connects everything from the factory, the distributor and the wholesaler, to the retailer who would then interface with the customer. It challenges the user to think along the lines of inventory and channels of distribution, taking oscillating demands into consideration. SIMULATIONS ON MARKETING These simulations help create effective marketing strategies, with an aim of auditing market performance and evaluating customers and product portfolios. It is based on the competitive analysis done via understanding customer perceptions, their preferences and buying intentions. Furthermore, it engages the user to research the effectiveness of both online and offline modes of advertising, promotions, marketing channels and the sales force. SIMULATIONS ON FINANCE This team-based simulation emphasises the core principles of Project Management valuation, M&A strategy and negotiation. Users form teams to settle reservation prices, value targets and negotiate over deal terms that will lead them to decide if they will accept (or reject) final offers. This simulation is recommended to companies with Finance as a focus or companies undergoing a merger or acquisition.
