Development and Training Needs
Identifying Development needs - The simulation can also be used to identify development
needs for managers. This requires feedback about the individual’s outputs from the exercise,
followed by a coaching/training plan.
The following choices are available:
Individual review - 1 or 2 hour versions. Paper based version can also be used here. The
shorter web programme would still provide sufficient information on which to base a review of needs.
Group work - The programme can be given to small groups, 2-3 people, during training events,
with the brief to present their recommendations at the end of your alloted time.
The WashBox simulation requires the ability to take in a large amount of information quickly and
then to make decisions about what action need to be taken.
Learning areas are:
Assessing priorities
Personal time management
Team communication
Delegation
Target setting
Understanding financial data
Operations management
Managing change
WashBox material is therefore also suitable for use in further education, where a broader
understanding of the management process is required.
