Flat
Examine how organisational design redistributes authority. Comparing Zappos and Haier, students assess who can make decisions after management layers disappear and test their assumptions about what makes self-management work.
When answers are abundant, the role of education is to teach judgement.
Teach students to examine how they reach a conclusion.
Teaching Studio brings reflective cases and simulations into the classroom, where students test their assumptions against evidence and learn when to stand by a judgement or revise it.
Choose what your students will judge next.
Reflective Cases
Students work through each case in class, using an accompanying artefact to record and reconsider their judgement. Reflections can be written or recorded as audio in Rehearsal.
Paytm at the Fintech Crossroads
Evaluate how a payments platform can become profitable. Students compare merchant services with loan distribution, weigh their external dependencies and recommend which growth opportunities Paytm should pursue or defer.
Simulations
Life, a rehearsal
Examine how competing commitments shape decisions about work and relationships. Across fifteen years of simulated life, students compare the reasons for their choices with the alternatives and identify what would change their judgement.
मैं: Who am I?
Examine the relationship between personal values and everyday choices. Students compare their stated priorities with decisions made in a personalised story, considering whose interests each response serves and where their commitments conflict.
First Call
Practise managerial prioritisation under time pressure. Faced with 146 inbox items, students assess the consequences of competing requests and justify what they handle themselves, delegate or defer.
Conviction
Develop a venture proposition by testing customer and market assumptions. Students defend their estimates against objections and decide when the evidence warrants revising a claim.
