Improving Managerial Cognitive Skills trough Mind Lab Method

Today, more than ever, managers are called to solve the problems facing the economy at the beginning of the third millennium, and on this basis, to solve many social problems of humanity. Also, the business world moves today in a very rapid pace and less ordered. This has a direct implication: in any business, managers need to become extremely efficient. In such an environment, very aggressive in terms of competitiveness and totally unpredictable, managers encounter many difficulties when they implement successful strategies or when they adopt methods and techniques to enhance efficacy. In terms of managerial efficiency, these circumstances compel managers to become as effective as possible. The manager profession requires the systematic training of skills in many developmental areas. Based on these considerations, the paper presents The Mind Lab Method, as a unique and innovative approach for development and training the cognitive skills of managers through strategy games.
