In a constantly evolving business environment, the ability to make ethical, sustainable, and strategic decisions has become an essential skill. Higher education and professional training face the challenge of preparing leaders capable of responding to current challenges without losing sight of the social and environmental impact of their actions
Under this premise, CompanyGame Academy presented the free online course for educators:
“Integrating Sustainability and Future Skills into Decision-Making: Business Simulators and Artificial Intelligence as Training Allies,” delivered by Mr. Alberto Marín, CEO of CompanyGame.
The Educational Challenge: From Theory to Action
Training the leaders of the future requires more than theoretical content. Today, universities and training centers must:
- Promote critical thinking, resilience, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
- Integrate sustainability as a core axis in business management.
- Prepare students to make decisions in complex and changing environments.
Without practical tools, training risks falling short of the demands of the labor market.
Business Simulators and Artificial Intelligence: A Bridge to Practice
During the course, the potential of business simulators to transform higher education was highlighted:
- Simulation of real decisions: Students take on executive roles and experience the consequences of their strategies.
- Integration of sustainability: With simulators like ESG Management, participants learn to balance profitability, social impact, and environmental responsibility.
- Competency assessment: The CompanyGame platform measures key skills such as leadership, planning, and teamwork.
Adding to this is the use of Artificial Intelligence, which enhances the learning experience through:
- Role-playing and assessment agents, capable of providing immediate and personalized feedback.
- Smart assistants, which guide learning and support informed decision-making.
Course Objectives and Key Content
The course focused on two main goals:
- Enhancing the understanding of sustainability and its application in educational settings through simulators and AI.
- Promoting critical competencies for ethical and strategic decision-making.
Key topics included:
- Sustainability as a core axis in higher education.
- Hands-on training with sustainability-oriented business simulators.
- Artificial intelligence applied to decision-making.
- Development of key competencies through experiential exercises.
- Best practices and real-world implementation cases.
Preparing Educators and Professionals for the Future
The session allowed educators and professionals to explore new ways to integrate sustainability and future skills into their academic programs, fostering active learning and improving student employability.
As Alberto Marín highlighted, simulators and AI not only facilitate teaching but also enable participants to:
- Continuously assess competencies.
- Connect decisions to real impact in simulated scenarios.
- Transform the learning experience into a practical and engaging environment.
Conclusion
The event demonstrated that training based on simulation and artificial intelligence is not just a trend but a necessity to prepare leaders capable of facing the challenges of both today and tomorrow.
