About this simulation

Director+ private-sector executives evaluate a senior government appointment over five rounds: read the offer forensically, run a six-ledger gain/loss analysis, apply regret and optionality framing, negotiate the six standard slots, and commit to one of three valid outputs (yes-with-conditions, no-with-grace, yes-but-not-yet).

The simulation forces the structured diligence most candidates skip — protecting reputation, network, and re-entry optionality.

Who it is for

An advanced simulation for participants used to working with the main frameworks and trade-offs of the subject, designed for executive education and experienced professionals.

How a session runs

  1. The instructor creates a session from the Eureka dashboard and invites the participants.
  2. Participants play 5 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.

Decisions participants make

The decisions participants make during the simulation:

  • Have you met the principal directly?
  • How is the mandate defined?
  • Authority over budget, headcount, procurement?
  • Months of political runway under the appointing principal
  • Estimated 5-year NPV delta (€, your loss vs. staying private)
  • Reputational read of the role
  • Mission alignment score (1-5)
  • Has your partner read the offer and the ledgers?
  • Political risk mitigation in place?
  • Re-entry plan
