About this simulation

A four-round career-pivot simulation where a 32-year-old consultant sequences a switch to Product Management (or any adjacent function). Learners run an honest skill diagnostic, pick a transition pattern, commit to a proof artifact, and face a hiring-manager interview — absorbing lessons on the apprentice tax, demonstration over declaration, and why hybrid roles are piers and not bridges.

Who it is for

An intermediate simulation for participants who already know the core concepts of the subject, designed for master's and MBA programmes.

How a session runs

  1. The instructor creates a session from the Eureka dashboard and invites the participants.
  2. Participants play 4 rounds. In each one they submit their decisions and the simulation calculates the results.
  3. The simulation can be run in English, Español.
  4. The instructor follows each participant's progress and results from the dashboard, and uses the class results for the debrief.
