Advantexe, a global leader in business simulation centric talent development solutions, announced that they have won a 2019 Gold Medal for Best Advance in Leadership Simulation Technology from the Brandon Hall Group for their “Pharmaceutical Business Simulation.”
The simulation is a cloud-based, digital simulation tool that allows learners to practice running a global pharmaceutical organization to develop their leadership and financial acumen skills. During the simulation, teams of participants take the role of Senior Leadership for a fictitious, global pharmaceutical organization. Over the course of the simulation, participants directly compete against each other in a volatile and changing market where prices are coming down and investments in R&D are going up. In their groups they ask tasked with:
- Developing an overall strategic direction for their simulated company
- Establishing annualized goals and objectives
- Planning global, local, and product business strategies
- Managing a diverse set of products, all at different stages of the product life cycle including losing exclusivity on a popular drug
- Executing business strategies through operational business decisions that include marketing, sales, research and development, medical affairs, finance and more.
Advantexe’s award winning simulation was an integral part of an intensive 3-day business acumen and leadership learning journey. This corporate learning program included eLearning pre-work for foundational learning, webinars about company global trends, action planning sessions, and reunion webinars to reinforce learning objectives and new skills. The Program was developed to teach and train next generation leaders how to operate across the enterprise. Participants learn how to effectively navigate in an ever-changing environment, grow their ability to understand, develop, and translate strategy into actions, and increase their financial understanding of business indicators including.
