Trusted by the C-suite, Loved by Learners

Abilitie has spent two decades refining a curriculum with a relentless focus on the timeless and universal capabilities of managing numbers and leading people. And we designed a methodology that builds those capabilities in the same holistic way leaders apply them in the real world.

Experiential and social learning

To sustainably improve performance, our programs focus on practice over theory and collaboration over solitary study.

Life-like simulations

In our team-based, competitive business simulations, learners pursue quantitative business goals while simultaneously negotiating their working relationships. Each of our core programs places one or more simulations at its core, including AI-enabled cases and conversations on topics ranging from giving constructive feedback to advocating for business plans.

Expert faculty

Our expert faculty brings real-world business and management experience and helps learners make sense of successes and challenges in the simulation and case studies. They introduce new ideas, frameworks, and tools to put into practice in the program and on the job.

Peer network

Our transformative learning experiences connect learners into a community. Leaders benefit from each others’ expertise during the program and build the networks and culture that benefit the organization in the long term.

What sets our simulations apart

Our award-winning learning experiences are powered by tech-driven business simulations and AI-powered conversations that challenge learners to confront realistic business and leadership challenges.

Real-Time, Dynamic Gameplay

Our modern web technology enables seamless interactions, letting participants experience fully immersive gameplay with instant, visible updates from others.

Sharpen strategic thinking, collaboration, and communication in dynamic, competitive settings.

Leading with emotional intelligence and business acumen

We've had the privilege of working with thousands of leaders at hundreds of companies across dozens of industries. In our experience, the true challenge of leadership lies in leveraging relationships to drive results and driving results to build relationships at one and the same time. Whether our programs focus more on the numbers or the people, we always strive to develop leaders who can integrate business acumen and people management capabilities.

Based on The 12-Week MBA curriculum designed by Abilitie and experienced by professionals at more than 100 Fortune Global 500 companies, this book offers an alternative way to learn business essentials.

"For the thousands of managers we’ve had the privilege of training, the limiting factor is rarely their functional expertise. The limiting factor is the ability to see the forest for the trees and to see it both as a collection of measurable resources—the numbers—and as a web of relationships—the people—at one and the same time."
