simX

What if your team could see the consequences of their decisions before they make them?

Learning that drives execution

What simX Is

In most organisations, teams optimise for their own department and never see the downstream impact of their decisions. The result is silos, misalignment, and performance losses that no presentation or workshop can fix. People need to experience it.

simX is a physical simulation paired with its digital twin, replicating a complete operational value chain. Teams take on roles, run the operation, and experience first-hand how variability, constraints, and coordination failures affect output. Developed with senior industry leaders and adult learning experts, the principles it teaches apply to any industry where interconnected activities determine performance.

See It In Action

One value chain. Three rounds. Watch what happens when a team stops thinking in silos and starts thinking in systems.

THE EXPERIENCE

Three Rounds. One Shift In Thinking.

Round 1

Teams run the operation as they normally would. Output is low. The instinct is to ask for more resources, more budget.

Round 2

The investments are made. Output barely improves. Capital alone does not solve a systems problem.

Round 3

Teams apply systems thinking. Output increases dramatically – without any additional investment.

The shift is not in the simulation. It is in the room.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say About Us

“The consensus toolkit, creating an agenda, and learning how to run more structured meetings were key takeaways. This showed me how I can optimise my team’s time and improve decision-making in my daily work.”

“Facilitation also takes place in every meeting. I gained practical skills like silent brainstorming and how to bring everyone’s voice into the room. It reinforced the importance of collaboration.”

“I learnt how to generate an agenda and manage interventions effectively. Tools like brainstorming and grouping ideas are very useful for making meetings more productive.”

“The sessions were clear and well-prepared. I especially valued the ‘fist of five’ tool for consensus testing. It’s something I can apply immediately in my own work.”

“Practice makes perfect. Always have a clear agenda and stick to it. The consensus toolkit was particularly valuable, and I can see how it applies to mining team meetings.”

“Facilitation skills, collaboration, and team building were the most impactful parts of today. The exercises helped me connect these lessons to how I approach my daily work.”

“Learning subtle ways to handle disruptive behaviours and techniques for delegating tasks more effectively really stood out for me. The facilitation concepts are highly practical.”

“I learnt how to write a proper agenda and use tools like the consensus check to keep meetings on track. These are things I can apply straight away.”

“One of my key takeaways was learning practical facilitation tools to run more effective meetings. It really showed me how meetings can be transformed from talking shops into spaces that drive action.”
