Advantexe Partners with Silicon Valley Executive Education (SVEE) to Offer Innovative Business Simulation focused on a SaaS Model Business Framework

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. (PRWEB) June 28, 2021 — Advantexe Learning Solutions, a global leader in business simulation-centric training solutions and Silicon Valley Executive Education (SVEE), an Executive Education solution provider, today announced a partnership to provide a new business simulation learning experience focused on understanding the dynamics of a Software as a Service (SaaS) based business.

The simulation has been developed in response to the rapid shifts in today’s business ecosystem and the growing need for managers and leaders in all industries to better understand how SaaS-based companies operate and make money. Utilizing this simulation as part of a business acumen learning journey builds the competencies of strategic thinking, financial management, and leading across the enterprise. As a result of completing the simulation, learners will be able to,

• Understand how operational decisions drive company performance
• Leverage a company’s financial position and key business metrics to improve decision making
• Recognize the importance of retaining top talent to ensure the company can deliver on its vision

In much the same way a flight simulator enables pilots to hone their instincts and build their flight skills, the SaaS simulation provides professionals with the opportunity to build their business acumen skills by “flying a business” in a risk-free learning environment. In the simulation, learners manage the daily operations of a struggling SaaS company. The simulation experience allows learners to experiment with different strategies, interact with diverse characters, and visually see the immediate effect that operational decision-making has on the financial performance of the simulated business.

Designed to be completed individually or in small teams, the SaaS business simulation can be delivered virtually, or during an in-person learning event. The simulation is ready to use off-the-shelf and has been built to allow for customization to reflect a client’s unique environment and situations. The typical simulation play time is 8 hours.

“We are extremely proud to be working with the SVEE group to provide organizations with a new and innovative learning solution,” says Robert Brodo, Advantexe CEO. “SVEE is a leader in this space and has a stellar reputation with their clients. We are looking forward to working with their team to assist learners in developing the necessary skills to succeed in today’s complex and changing SaaS market.”

“The leadership playbook is always changing, but there’s one constant: when you invest in the development of your people, you always win,” said Robert David, SVEE Faculty Director. “We could not be any more pleased to be partnering with the team at Advantexe and look forward to bringing their business simulation platform to new audiences.”

Are you looking to improve your sales team’s negotiation skills? Are you getting back to in-person training sessions?

SVEE can develop a fully-customized program for your enterprise/organization. Participants apply negotiation science to contractual and commercial negotiations (both formal and informal). We devote significant time to simulations (individual 1-to-1) and conversations designed to extract long term value.

The workshop will cover the following topics:

•           Key tactics for creating and claiming value

•           Power dynamics (cross-cultural DNA)

•           Developing trust

This is hands-on program with interactive discussion, enabling participants to step back and reflect on their negotiation behavior, with the goal of breaking old habits and refining with new habits by gaining new skills and insights to apply in future negotiations.

We’ll do two negotiation simulations during the day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. They are critical for skill development and can be video recorded.

The time between simulations is dedicated to analyzing simulation results, discussing the negotiation tactics associated with successful negotiation performance, and applying these tactics to participants day-to-day negotiation challenges.

Program Overview

Many companies today are facing growing pressure from well-organized social movements and their own employees to provide equal opportunities in hiring and advancement. Research shows that when they build a more diverse workforce, these companies haven’t just satisfied social and moral mandates: they benefit from strengthened innovation, competitive advantage, and decision-making; improved engagement and retention; enhanced reputation; and increased productivity and profitability.

Getting there, though, isn’t easy. Traditional diversity training does a good job of building awareness and starting the conversation, but simply hiring more people of color, women, or those from other underrepresented groups isn’t the solution. If there aren’t measures or cultural norms in place that keep these new employees from feeling included, they won’t stay—and the company is back where it started.

Creating the Environment for Courageous Inclusion takes a different approach. Designed for decision-makers who can drive change in their organizations, this live online program doesn’t stop with building awareness of the challenge. Over six three-hour sessions, it provides concrete insights, specific tools, and practical steps for change. Participants will identify processes, policies, and procedures in their organizations that currently maintain inequity between groups, and through exercises, assignments, and interactive discussions will learn how to transform them. Ultimately, the program works to create transformative changes instead of quick fixes.
