Executive Trade Strategy Simulation
Course Overview
This unique three-day simulation programme immerses executives in complex trade scenarios that mirror the challenges of doing business across African markets. Participants take on executive roles in simulated companies and must navigate trade negotiations, logistics decisions, regulatory hurdles, and competitive pressures.
The simulation covers multiple rounds of decision-making where teams must develop trade strategies, negotiate with counterparts, manage supply chain disruptions, and respond to regulatory changes. Each round is followed by expert debrief sessions that connect simulation learnings to real-world African trade challenges.
This programme is unlike any traditional training course. The experiential learning approach ensures that insights are deeply embedded and immediately applicable to participants' real roles.
