Long-Term Project Management (GUIDE) (#905)

This simulation was developed in collaboration with Dr. John Enright, Aerospace Engineering, Toronto Metropolitan University.

Six students meet as part of a team planning a Young Professionals Conference. To have been selected for the team is an opportunity of a lifetime as the success of the conference counts in so many ways. If problems arise, the team must resolve them.

• Listening skills
• Building trust
• Mediating
• Negotiating agreements
• Developing collaborative solutions 
• Gaining buy-in
• Managing conflict

When joining the simulation, the learners will be asked to play specific roles. At each place will be a name card and a brief description of issues and specific talking points that will support the learners. The learner will feel responsible for keeping the tone of the meetings professional and to solve any problems that arise.

Note: There is a Student Information Handout available to be distributed online or handed-out in order to prepare a class for this simulation.
