Organizations today face a critical skills development dilemma: traditional training methods often fall short in preparing teams for real-world complexity. Teams may possess technical knowledge but struggle with adaptability, resilience, and decision-making under pressure. When faced with unexpected situations or client curveballs, this gap between training and reality becomes painfully apparent.
