How this one works
A sequence of voice-to-voice conversations with AI characters. 6 distinct conversations, each with its own stakeholder.
What students practice
- Stress-test a scaling recommendation against stakeholders with competing interests and different definitions of fairness
- Navigate the tension between HR governance concerns and the flexibility that made the pilot effective
- Make a concrete business case for work design to a delivery-focused executive who needs ROI, not theory
- Understand what managers actually need to adopt a new approach — and where identity, not capability, is the real barrier
- Listen to an employee who did not speak fully honestly and learn what psychological safety requires in practice
- Defend a recommendation to the CEO with evidence, specificity, and a Monday-morning action plan
