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.

Strategic Briefing
Your team receives background context and objectives for the simulation. Every choice they make will influence the outcome.

Real-Time Decision Making
Across multiple rounds, teams face business-critical decisions that test leadership, planning, and risk assessment.

Facilitated Learning
Our experienced facilitators guide the process, manage timing, and support reflection without stepping in to lead decisions.

Performance Feedback
At the end, teams receive structured feedback on how they performed - what worked, what didn’t, and how to improve.
