EcoCrisis simulation
You are the Chief Sustainability Officer. The crisis starts now.
EcoCrisis is a 10-week immersive simulation that places you inside the world's most consequential corporate sustainability failures. Deepwater Horizon. Conflict minerals in the Congo. Palm oil deforestation. Coca-Cola's plastic crisis. You inherit the hot seat. You make the calls.

Week 1
The satellite saw what your records cannot
An investigative outlet publishes satellite analysis linking three mills in your palm oil supply chain to clearance inside a protected peatland. Your own traceability data stops at the refinery. You cannot confirm the claim, and you cannot refute it. The reporter wants a statement by 17:00.
You have ten hours and no verified facts.

A three-decision demonstration, built on the simulation's own mechanics. The full simulation runs five real cases across ten weeks with a facilitator. The company here is a composite, not a real firm.
Grounded in Situational Crisis Communication Theory and built from fourteen years of field research, every week surfaces a new task: stakeholder mapping, capital allocation, structural reform, and the moment every leader dreads, a whistleblower who knows what the public doesn't.
What participants get
5 real-world cases, from boardroom cover-up to community collapse
10 weeks of live decisions, reputation, regulation, and trust move with every choice
Decision DNA debrief, your strategic orientation mapped against SCCT-prescribed leadership
Built for postgraduate cohorts. Facilitator-led. Built on research by Shukla & Swami.
