Looking to enhance your associates' critical thinking and practical skills? Simulation-based training combined with real-time feedback is the most efficient and effective approach. It saves both the client's money and the partner's time. 🗝️However, the key is that simulation training isn't a one-time event. It needs to be ongoing throughout the year, offering simulations that mirror the variety of assignments associates will encounter as they advance. 🤔These simulations should be like puzzles, not straightforward. Just as clients and cases are imperfect, so too should these simulations be. 🤓Curious about how to create impactful simulation (or mock) assignments for associates? Check out the recent article on Law360 by AltaClaro's founder & CEO, Abdi Shayesteh. 🚀Since its launch, AltaClaro has been a trailblazer in simulation-based training for lawyers. We've guided over 10,000 associates through our real-world simulations, and 99% have found the training invaluable for handling real cases. #simulationbasedtraining #experientiallearning #legal #professionaldevelopment #legaltech #edtech Click on link in the comment section to read on ... 👇👇👇
