[SRI Simulation] The Mandate - Student Edition

SIM 02 — The Mandate (Student Edition)

A simplified version of a professional leadership simulation that reveals why authority alone does not produce alignment.

SIM 02 — The Mandate (Student Edition) introduces learners to decision-making under ambiguity—where instructions are unclear, interpretation varies, and outcomes are shaped by structure, not intent.

Participants experience how real systems behave:

• different interpretations of the same directive
• uneven compliance
• confusion, hesitation, and overreaction
• breakdown of coordination without shared clarity

Designed for students, educators, and early-stage professionals, this edition focuses on core learning and accessibility, while preserving the essential system dynamics.

Includes:

• streamlined simulation design (30–45 minutes)
• simplified facilitator guide
• role cards and event prompts
• structured debrief questions

Best for: classrooms, leadership courses, group learning, and introductory systems thinking.
