Leadership practice, by Chase & Marshal
Marshal Learning Simulator is a facilitated simulation platform where executives, facilitators and university learners rehearse real leadership decisions: board oversight, risk, crisis response, negotiation, strategy and AI investment. You take a role, weigh uneven evidence, argue your case and live with the consequences, in a room where mistakes are safe to make.

Four formats you can run today
Each format is a facilitated exercise with its own group size, timing and record. Explore one to see who it suits and how a session runs.
A seven-seat governance exercise. Up to four people join three AI directors to debate an AI risk and make decisions the board must live with.
Lead a material cyber incident through three controlled escalation rounds. Weigh uneven evidence, take private advice and own the decision.
A small-group exercise in risk oversight. Groups of two or three share uneven information, assess threats, design controls and keep a shared risk register.
A one-to-one executive negotiation with an authored counterpart. Uncover the hidden constraint and build an agreement that holds before time runs out.
Two formats where executive and university learners practise evidence-based strategic judgement instead of accepting AI advice uncritically. Commercial delivery requires a facilitator subscription and explicit workshop authorisation.
25-minute team exercise
Diagnose privately, challenge advice, commit a forecast, then face the consequences.

Across every format, learners practise judgement: deciding with incomplete evidence, testing advice, reading the people in the room and owning a decision when time runs out. When a cyber incident moves faster than the facts, or a counterpart hides a constraint, there are only better and worse judgements.
Our workshops let people rehearse those judgements with colleagues before they face them for real.
Each seat sees different information. You learn to ask what is missing before deciding.
Public positions and private objectives rarely match. Noticing the gap is part of the work.
Advisers offer views. You test them against evidence instead of accepting them on trust.
Rounds are timed, and earlier choices carry into later dilemmas, as they do in real organisations.
How a session unfolds
Every learner reads a confidential briefing: the situation, their role and what they are quietly trying to achieve.
The group debates the options, questions each other and forms alliances. A chair or facilitator keeps the room moving.
Choices have consequences that unfold in the next round. A debrief turns the experience into lessons you can use.
Inside the Boardroom
Seven fictional directors sit at the table, each with confidential information and a private objective. Up to four seats are played by people. Three are AI directors, including the Chair, who moderates the room and calls each vote.
About the Boardroom
Scenario library
Scenarios cover recruitment, healthcare, retail, education, security, logistics, a cyber incident and two executive negotiations. Each is fictional, with a different organisation and set of tensions.
Who builds it
Marshal Learning Simulator is designed and operated as a product of Chase & Marshal, a business, marketing and AI consultancy. The simulator is the practice room; human facilitators and the organisations that host sessions remain responsible for how learning is used.
How pricing works
Hosts hold a monthly facilitator subscription. Each workshop is billed after it finishes, per participant who attended, with a workshop minimum once delivery starts. Prices are in NZD excluding GST and are listed in full on the pricing page.
Strategy Room is not yet purchasable. Owner-delivered and institutional work is by private quote.
