ExecutiveSim
A deeper look at leadership in action.
ExecutiveSim is Persona 28’s most in-depth AI-powered leadership simulation.
ExecutiveSim places leaders inside a live executive control center built around an in-depth organizational case. They work through extensive information, interact with AI colleagues and stakeholders, make consequential decisions, and experience how those decisions affect what happens next.
Instead of asking executives what they would do, ExecutiveSim creates the opportunity to see what they actually do when leadership is required.
Two hours. One deeply developed organization. Decisions that change what happens.
Executive leadership is difficult to assess in an interview.
Senior leaders are often highly experienced interviewees.
They know how to describe their leadership philosophy. They can tell compelling stories about past successes. And traditional assessments can tell us a great deal about their personality, experience, and reputation.
But executive roles require something more.
Executives have to make sense of ambiguity, determine what matters, seek out the right information, engage multiple stakeholders, manage competing demands, exercise judgment, influence others, and eventually commit to a course of action.
ExecutiveSim is designed to make those behaviors observable.
Why two hours?
Leadership behavior takes time to emerge.
A shorter simulation can provide a useful snapshot. ExecutiveSim creates enough time for leaders to understand a complex organization, make decisions, and then lead through what those decisions create.
Over two hours, new information emerges, stakeholders respond, priorities shift, and earlier choices shape what happens next.
The organization changes as you lead.
Executives are not working through a static case study. The organization responds to what they do.
Decisions affect stakeholders, information, priorities, and the conditions the executive encounters next.
Executives interact with realistic AI colleagues and stakeholders, each with different responsibilities, perspectives, information, and priorities.
A finance leader may see one set of risks. A people leader may see another. What the executive investigates, whom they involve, and what they decide influences how the situation develops.
Every executive begins with the same underlying leadership challenge.
They do not necessarily end in the same place.
And those differences are exactly what we want to understand.
