ICONS programs are built on an active-learning model in which participants problem-solve within and across teams using a mix of group discussions, case studies, role plays, and a multi-player simulation. The simulations are based on real-world issues that immediately draw in participants. Results are not scripted. Outcomes are determined by participants’ efforts and decisions. Participants then discuss the outcomes, share lessons learned and determine how these lessons can improve their effectiveness.
