Innovation Island is an out-of-the-box interactive simulation created to facilitate a practical in-class learning journey for instructors focusing on various strategic and leadership themes, such as leadership intelligence, collaborative innovation, design thinking and scenario planning.

After a plane crash, learners are stranded on a deserted island together with limited resources and an abundance of dangers. Using lessons from the professor himself, survivors must work in groups to develop a prototype that will assist them in confronting at least one particular uncertainty that jeopardizes their survival on this unforgiving island.

This multimedia is unique in that it gives instructors the freedom to focus their session on the themes they choose (e.g. soft skills and leadership intelligence).

The activity is also heavily based on collaboration and teamwork, encouraging learners to spend the majority of their time putting into practice the takeaways provided by the instructors in their class in a highly constructive way. Also, being put in a fictitious situation not typically used in higher-education/continuing-education settings, participants are 1) all able to connect and collaborate on a goal, regardless of their professional backgrounds, and 2) forced to think outside the box critically.

This simulation can be used effectively in MBA, MIB and M.Sc.; Global or Executive programs at any level, particularly in courses focusing on: innovation,  leadership, strategy, strategy execution, complexity management and/or team dynamics

Alliance Airlines vs European Wings: Playing the Pricing Game has been designed to teach students how to set prices in a competitive environment – more specifically the airline industry

Students will assume the role of the marketing manager of an airline competing in the European airline market. For a total duration of twelve months, students have to set prices on a monthly basis. Once the prices for a month have been set, the simulation advances and shows students the results of their actions. There are two airlines competing in the market: “Alliance Airline” which is being controlled by the students and “European Wings” which is controlled by the simulation.
