Role-Play & Skill Development

Role-Play & Skill Development

Using role-play in skill development has proven to be an invaluable training tool for all types of businesses – from industrial to corporate environments.

During my multinational management program in Japan, we performed countless role-plays to prepare ourselves for unfamiliar situations.

Role-playing happens when two or more people act out roles in a particular scenario. Any training that involves human communication can benefit from this powerful tool.

You can also use role-play to spark brainstorming sessions, to improve communication between team members, and to see problems or situations from different perspectives.

For an effective role-play, remember these 5 important steps,

1. Identify the situation.

2. Add details.

3. Assign roles.

4. Act out the scenario.

5. Discuss the learning outcomes.

Do you remember when was the last time you also performed a role-play?
