I liked how the simulation connected classroom learning with real business decisions. It helped me analyze competitor financial data, understand customer needs, identify business risks, and consider different stakeholders’ perspectives. I also learned how to turn complex information into clear recommendations and practical action plans.

The team overviews and description of each member's role helped me to not only understand their importance in an engagement, but also explore other roles/areas I might be interested in. For example, I did not know that operations teams were so heavily involved in Strategic engagements. This is enlightening as an Industrial Engineering student.

It felt incredibly real, grounded in genuine, everyday problems rather than overdramatized situations. What stood out most was how it didn’t just present the issues, but also offered an ideal sense of how they could be approached or resolved. That balance between realism and thoughtful resolution made it especially engaging and meaningful.
