    Life, a rehearsal

    Simulation · Reflection

    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.

    Personal plans compete with commitments to other people. The simulation follows choices about how you spend your time and whose needs receive your attention.

    You choose a response and record what influenced it in your Rehearsal voice journal. Revisit the alternatives you left aside and the circumstances that might have changed your decision.

    मैं: Who am I?

    Simulation · Reflection

    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.

    The story unfolds through messages on a phone, using the names of people in your own life. A reply can affect a personal ambition or a commitment to someone who depends on you.

    As the decisions accumulate, compare what you say matters to you with the choices you make. Which differences can you explain, and which would you want to change?

    First Call

    Simulation · Leadership · 60 minutes

    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.

    Several people need a response, and the information arrives across four channels. You decide what to handle yourself, what to delegate and what to defer.

    After responding, return to the information you had when you made each decision. Which request received your attention first, and what justified that priority?

    Conviction

    Simulation · Strategy · 30-45 minutes

    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.

    Choose the customers your venture will serve and estimate the market it could reach. An AI counterpart challenges the business proposition and asks you to support your claims.

    Decide which assumptions the evidence justifies and which need revision. How would the venture change if an assumption you had defended turned out to be wrong?

    The Renewal

    Simulation · Sales and Marketing · ≈30 minutes

    Practise account negotiation by interpreting a client’s objections to a ₹16 crore renewal. Students identify the conditions for continuing the relationship and revise their proposal as the client challenges its assumptions.

    The client's objections challenge your account of what the relationship is worth. You must decide what to ask and how to respond as you work towards a renewal.

    Which concern changes your proposal? Which are you tempted to dismiss because it is difficult to answer?

    Propaganda Wars

    Simulation · Communication · 90 minutes

    Evaluate competing accounts of a business or policy issue. Students distinguish reported facts from interpretation and construct an evidence-based rebuttal without substituting unsupported claims of their own.

    You are the incoming editor of The Rehearsal Times. A competing newspaper's account needs close examination before you can publish your response.

    Evaluate the evidence behind each claim and decide what your own argument can support. What made one account convincing to you before you checked it?

    In Plain Sight

    Simulation · Sales and Marketing · 45-60 minutes

    Develop retail diagnosis from visual evidence. Students examine a shelf photograph, compare plausible explanations for what they observe and specify what they would verify before recommending an action.

    A shelf photograph provides evidence about how products appear in a store. It also leaves much of the situation outside the frame.

    Make an observation, examine plausible explanations and propose an action. What would you need to check in the store before acting on your conclusion?

    Simulation · Finance · 45-90 minutes

    Evaluate investment decisions under changing market conditions. Teams justify trades using the information available at the time and assess portfolio risk, then examine whether the eventual return supports their original reasoning.

    Your team chooses how to respond to market information while managing a portfolio. The consequences of a trade become visible as prices change.

    Return to the information available when you acted. Would you defend the same decision if its financial result had been different?

    Quizzr

    Simulation · Learning and Facilitation · 20-40 minutes

    Use a live classroom quiz to examine understanding under time pressure. Students explain the reasoning behind their answers and compare their confidence with the evidence supporting each choice.

    A host sets up the quiz and participants join a shared session. The questions give the class specific answers to discuss afterwards.

    Use a response to examine the reasoning behind it. What supported the answer, and how did that compare with how certain it felt?
