First National Tournament for managers due in Baku

The Azeri Ministry of Youth and Sports will be holding the First National Tournament for Managers. The event will take place on May 6-7 at the Azerbaijan State Economic University.

The main objective of the event is raising the professional skills of young employees. The tournament is based on SimulTrain Project Management Simulator. The participants will learn how to work and make decisions as a team. The simulator allows the group to work on the progress and execution of the project.

It confronts the learners with many situations requiring the ability of making fast decisions and of taking all of the project parameters into account.

The feedback and consequences of the different decisions are immediately made visible. The simulator involves multimedia technology: the participants receive many phone calls, e-mails and voice-mails, thus immersing them in surrounding them in a realistic project atmosphere.

The panel of judges comprised the experts from Azerbaijan, Russia and Latvia will select the winners. SimulTrain is a Project Management Simulator used in project management training programs. SimulTrain is a simulation of the planning and execution phases of a medium-sized project that involves all of the events that occur.

It is a computer-based multimedia tool which allows the participants to learn how to structure a project; how to control the progress of a project; and how to use project management tools.
