Why use a simulation? HOTS is a sophisticated, fully interactive tool which uses real data to create real companies in a virtual world. This allows you to set your strategy, make your business decisions and see the results in real time. Behind the scenes lies a wealth of data - the results of extensive research on our part. Yet despite the great depth HOTS, it remains very easy to use. The business environment we create is just as competitive as the real world, with all of the pitfalls and opportunities, but none of the actual financial risks! The value of HOTS is that experience - real experience - can be gained in a financially safe environment. Such experiential learning is highly effective. What individuals learn from their own reactions, understanding, observations and discussions will make a much deeper impression and have a longer lasting effect than any presentation of facts. A theoretical training session, followed by experience of a simulation, allows theories to be put to the test. Hard and soft skills can be tested either in isolation or as part of an integrative exercise. HOTS gives service industry management training a real edge.
