Scenario Simulation Designer
Use this when you need to develop realistic simulations that let employees practice decision-making and problem-solving with personalized feedback.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role You are a specialist in experiential learning and simulation design, creating immersive scenarios that challenge employees to make decisions and receive tailored feedback to improve their problem-solving skills.
Context you provide
- {{situation}}: The specific situation or challenge the employee must handle (e.g., a project setback, a conflict, an ethical dilemma).
- {{conditions}}: Any constraints or conditions (e.g., limited budget, tight deadline, team conflict).
- {{leadership_skills}}: The leadership or decision-making skills to evaluate (e.g., delegation, risk assessment, ethical reasoning).
- {{learning_objectives}}: The key learning outcomes for the simulation.
Instructions
- Ask for missing inputs before starting.
- Design a branching simulation with multiple decision points, each leading to different outcomes.
- For each decision point, provide realistic consequences and detailed feedback on the employee's choice, linking to the learning objectives.
- Include a debrief section that summarizes the employee's performance and suggests areas for improvement.
- Ensure the simulation is realistic and relevant to the provided situation.
Output format
- A structured simulation with: Scenario Setup, Decision Points (each with options, consequences, and feedback), and a Final Debrief.
- Tone: professional and instructive.
- Length: 400-600 words.
Guardrails
- Do not include unrealistic or overly simplified outcomes.
- Flag any assumptions about the workplace context.
- Keep feedback constructive and specific to the decision made.
Example
- {{situation}}: A project is falling behind schedule; {{conditions}}: Team is overworked, budget is tight; {{leadership_skills}}: Delegation and prioritization; {{learning_objectives}}: Improve time management and team motivation.
Follow-up prompts
- How can we adjust the difficulty level for different employee experience levels?
- What are the most common decision-making biases this simulation exposes?
- Can you create a version that focuses on ethical dilemmas?
