Trust is hard to define, but we do know when it’s lost. When trust is present, things go well; but when trust is lost, the relationship is at risk. Naturally then, the ability to understand this powerful intangible element and practice building it, can be a big differentiator for individuals, teams and organizations.
FocusU in association with KNOLSKAPE brings the Trust simulation which is designed to provide scenarios for participants to influence and build trust with external stakeholders. It focuses on Relationship Styles, Power Maps, and Trust building capabilities. The simulation puts the participant in the role of an account manager who is required to gain the trust of a client and build a better relationship with the client than the competitor, to win a deal.
Relationship Styles help the participant understand what drives the stakeholder to be influenced, and Power Maps aid in identifying the relationships amongst the stakeholders.
By enabling participants to experience and work through such challenges which are as close to real life as possible, the simulation analytics and debrief sessions (optional) by the facilitators help participants in deriving great insight into the skill of building trust.
The simulation throws up useful analytics for individual participants that includes:
• Style Identification Capability
• Trust Meter
• Range of Relationship Styles
