Paper Plane Incorporation

Paper Planes, Inc. is a licensed business simulation. It is designed to focus on teamwork, collaboration, organizational effectiveness, breaking down silos, engagement, and customer service. This award-winning simulation allows participants to learn the value of redesigning how they work, internalize those insights and bring them back to their jobs while also providing insights on how an organization or team can prepare for changes within their organizations.

During the simulation, participants play the roles of employees in an aircraft manufacturing company — assembler, inspector, tester and so forth.
