Explore leadership decisions
Seven fictional scenarios. Three decisions in each. Free and open to everyone.
Each debrief compares defensible alternatives and the conditions under which each makes sense. It is not a course or an assessment. 7 cases with 3 choices at each of 3 stages give 189 complete decision sequences (7 × 3 × 3 × 3). Some sequences share evidence and outcomes, so this is not 189 distinct cases or endings.

Improve an existing offshore engineering centre
A good starting point because it touches leadership questions most global organisations share: decision rights across headquarters and regions, distributed teams and how delivery is measured.
Time is a rough estimate from the length of the text, not a measured average.
