Work Situations That Matter
Realistic work situations, from early-career assignments to the responsibilities of a first-line manager, across general management, commercial work, operations and service delivery, projects and change, technology and data, and shared services.
Illustrative situations from Simi’s library in development. Talk to Simi about what fits your program.
Talk To SimiNine Kinds Of Work Situations
Each simulation gives a participant a specific role, setting and assignment, with the responsibility matched to their level.

Performance Recovery
A service level, a backlog or a result has been slipping. Find the real cause and bring it back on track.

Decision Under Trade-Offs
Several workable options are on the table and none is free. Choose one and defend it.

Solution Or Proposal Development
An open problem needs a proposal nobody has written yet. Develop one and present it.

Initiative Or Project Delivery
A set objective has to become delivered work. Plan it, line up the people and keep it on track.

Stakeholder Alignment And Negotiation
People who matter want different things. Bring them to a position they can act on.

People Management Challenge
Underperformance, conflict, delegation or a hard conversation with a person or a team.

Disruption Or Escalation Response
An outage, an escalation or a complaint lands suddenly, and the response starts now.

Improvement Or Transformation
A process, a tool or the use of AI has to change, and the people doing the work have to come with it.

Investigation Or Review
Something may be wrong or unclear. Establish the facts and report what you found.
Matched To The Level Of Responsibility
- Early Career
- First professional responsibility, working to clear instructions and a manager’s review.
- Experienced Professional
- Works independently: investigates, weighs evidence and advises.
- Team Lead Or First-Line Manager
- First responsibility for other people’s work: a team, a project team or a service.

An Example Assignment
Find Out Why Service Requests Are Delayed
Customers are waiting longer and nobody is sure why. Speak with colleagues, examine the information and send your manager a brief with a recommendation and the reasons for it.
