Team Adventure Series | Training Simulation Exercises

Research suggests that people retain much more when they practice or actively engage with the material – up to 75% retention – compared to passive methods. Simulation training is a great way to get learners engaged because they immerse participants in hands-on activities that let them practice and absorb key lessons in an engaging, effective way.

The HRDQ Team Adventure Series is a collection of simulation trainings that offer hands-on learning by exposing learners to situations that require them to use and flex their process skills, such as decision making and problem solving under pressure, helping them build the skills they need to be effective quickly.

HRDQ's Adventure Simulations

HRDQ's team simulations uniquely combine engaging survival scenarios with a focus on team decision making and synergy, setting them apart as interactive tools for cultivating effective team functioning.

Each Team Adventure product immerses participants in realistic (or sometimes fantasy) situations that require collaborative, consensus-driven decision making – demonstrating firsthand how team synergy yields more successful outcomes than individual efforts.

These training simulation exercises reflect both real-life scenarios and fantasy situations – from being stranded on a riverbank to being attacked by zombies.

In the latter category, participants can focus on the decision making process rather than the details of the situation. Because the scenario is fictional, participants are less likely to bring preconceived notions or biases to it. This encourages them to concentrate on using their problem solving skills to reach a solution together.

Benefits of Simulations

Simulation training is among the most effective learning formats.

  • They allow teams to practice making decisions under pressure.
  • They provide a team with an opportunity to practice interpersonal skills, such as active listening, questioning, and confronting behaviors, in a realistic setting.
  • They illustrate the concept of team synergy.
  • They provide new teams with a nonthreatening environment in which to collaborate effectively.

FAQ's

What are simulations?

Simulations are structured learning experiences that replicate real-world (or sometimes fantasy) situations, requiring participants to make decisions, take action, and experience outcomes in a safe, controlled setting.

How do HRDQ’s simulations work?

A simulation from HRDQ might start with an imaginary trip to a faraway, exotic place such as the Australian Outback or the Caribbean. Soon, the adventure takes a turn, and teams are faced with a life-or-death situation, forcing them to work together to survive with only limited resources and each other.

In simulations like these, teams learn how to overcome common stumbling blocks within the safety of the classroom. The team's success in the simulation reflects its success in the workplace.

What are the benefits of simulation learning?

There are many benefits to using simulations for training. Simulations often lead to better retention than other passive learning methods. Simulations also allow teams to practice everyday skills in fun scenarios, so they can apply them to their work later.
