"A very powerful day with Excelerate. Their well-designed simulation provides a brilliant way to learn complex concepts and promotes responsible and sustainable decision-making."

"Interactive and competitive aspects keep people engaged. Provided great insights into executive decision making at banks. This will help my team to serve our clients who are banks."

"The office is buzzing and still talking about it. A great day and hugely valuable for everyone involved."

"Engaging and fast paced. It was a great mix of presentation and ‘doing’ on an advanced platform that really brought decisions to life."

"Learn all the levers in play. We had so much fun but I actually learnt a lot. …It has opened my eyes to all the levers in play!"

"Loved the program. Everyone is talking about how much we loved the program!"

"Was such an awesome experience and very well thought through day."

"Without doubt one of the best workshops I've been on."

"The best customisable banking simulation we’ve ever experienced. It was a brilliant banking simulation for understanding how all of our roles impact each other and how we must work together to build a bank that makes decisions that benefit both customers and shareholders."

"One of the most engaging and useful learning experiences I have done. Normally I am crawling up the wall in learning sessions as I learn best by doing rather than absorbing reams of information of doing pointless group exercises. Ascension was the antithesis of this!"

"It was enjoyable and enlightening. Amazing how much you can learn in one day."

"Great way to understand the levers and the impact of those decisions. I loved the simulation and the real time feedback on decisions."

"Gamification & knowledge was superb. Great opportunity to understand financial markets in an enjoyable way. Good healthy competitive teamwork."

"Great experience to see how the work we do in our daily jobs feeds into the greater challenges the bank faces. Facilitators did a great job of weaving real life to provide that extra context that crystallised learnings."

"Understand everyday trade-offs that banks make. A really useful learning experience that helped the team understand the trade-offs that banks make when managing their balance sheet. All that mixed in with a little competition between the teams made for a fun day. A great scenario-based learning tool. The facilitators worked well with team and made it fun."

"Interactive and engaging way of gaining commercial acumen. A really good way to understand how the different levers work in the real world. Its a fun piece to educate you on the different levers that impact the banking world. Also gives you a good overview of how the different business functions work together."

"Great Insight Into Business Management. Very engaging, gets us thinking. Really helps understand the levers available to a business that impact on outcomes."

"Really re-enforced the need to take a short, medium and long term view on making decisions. Great format with the use of the simulation. l would highly recommend! Via leveraging a simulated experience, individuals are able to test themselves under pressure."

Excellent course! The presenters and format were engaging, the tech that supported the the training was excellent, and putting theory into action gave opportunities to embed learning. This was the most valuable training I have done in years and the return on investment in time and training started immediately as there were learnings I could put into action straight away. Thoroughly recommend

KP and the team at Excelerate Consulting held a two day interactive workshop that explored and assessed the subject of risk in the commercial setting. Despite the often considered ‘dry’ topic, KP and the team put together fun and gamified learning experience. I went from dreading the two day course, to excited for the next day in the first hour…. In my years of doing compulsory learning as part of regulatory requirement, this was by far the best piece of learning I’ve done. It’s interactive, thought provoking and delivers real insights in my conscious and unconscious bias. Ultimately doing it’s job, getting me to think of the commercial implications outside of my day to day bubble. Thank you, you did a great job hosting this workshop.

Exceptional workshop from Excelerate Consulting on Leading Risk last week, highly interactive. I am usually quite bored during Risk trainings due to the number of slides, but these sessions were highly engaging and I enjoyed both the content and the delivery. Thank you for the great experience.

This was hands down the best training workshop I've ever attended. This should be how all training is delivered - the use of an engaging simulation with a side of healthy competition as you battle it out to be the most successful team in the group really helped to drill in those pertinent concepts that would otherwise be forgotten if delivered in a more traditional lecture style setting. This was really enjoyable as a participant! Thanks team.

Thanks for delivering such an engaging Banking 101 session. I had no financial knowledge whatsoever going into the session, so I was a bit nervous about how intimidating it would all be. That definitely wasn't the case - I learned so much and it was all very digestible. I tuned into my workplace's performance results session a few days after and was so mindblown to have actually understood what they were talking about. I really have your team to thank for that!

Led by two amazing facilitators the 2 days risk virtual sessions were immersive in nature, that replicated substantial aspects of the real world in a fully interactive fashion. We learned to mitigate ethical tensions and resolve practical dilemmas in the world of banking. The workshops were fantastic in bringing to life the interactions between a task, the environment, and the behavior of team members. A huge shout out to Keerthi and John for keeping us on our toes even though it was a virtual marathon.

The team at Excelerate are incredibly professional, knowing not only about the overall market, but also research into your particular company before sessions. They have a broad understanding or concepts, yet make information easy to digest and learn. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to increase their knowledge of the banking sector.

Two days in a virtual risk workshop? Sounds challenging right? May even sound boring to some. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish with professional, highly engaging facilitation, humour and banter, practical insights and different viewpoints. Excelerate Consulting brought the theory to life - I learnt, I was challenged, I was supportive, I’ve grown. Thank you for two great days of challenge, learning, empowerment and personal growth.

Banking Simulation was such an energizing training, with a lot of great learnings! The training was so interesting and engaging, that we did not feel the time pass by (oh, it's lunch time already!). Thank you, Erik, Richard and Keerthi, for providing such a wonderful platform to learn about the workings of a bank! And thank you for your insights and inputs as out facilitators/consultants.
