How the 'Before Mars' Simulation Works

Before Mars puts your team in a realistic business scenario. Across timed rounds, teams analyse challenges, make decisions, and adapt their strategy while working under pressure. It is a hands-on, facilitator-led training session. It mirrors the complexity of real-world business.
