Training Material
Absolutely! Trainers can use the 7-Shapes School before the course to help learners acquire a solid foundation, or during the training by creating working groups. This approach fosters collective intelligence and facilitates learning.
interactive simulation
The business simulation present in the 7-Shapes School courses simulates a drone manufacturing flow. Everything is calculated in real time according to parameters (costs and revenues per minute) close to reality. This simulation is the strength of our pedagogy: it allows the learner to put into practice the theoretical concepts seen in the other modules…just like in real life! But with the possibility of making mistakes. As neuroscience has shown, you have to apply and make mistakes to learn!
We regularly create “customized” versions of the 7-Shapes School for our clients. We can put your colors, your logo, your workflow and even custom modules according to your needs.
Yes it is! Do not hesitate to contact us for this type of need.
