We use a lot of experiential activities in our leadership training. E.g. we actually build bridges (a very expensive kit with many components to make quite a tall and long bridge). Also MTA (Martin Thomson & Associates)in the UK provide quite a lot of kits you can purchase to run experiential activities with specific scenario's. We always get great feedback with the training. I believe this is due to the more interactive activities that the participants can get really involved in and it gives them a chance to try out their new 'learned' leader skills in a simulated and safe environment and get feedback on how they performed. As always, with these activities the debriefing is the most important part to consolidate their learnings.
Hope that helps.

experiential programs are the ones that stick.
Make it fun, dynamic and create buzz. If you have questions on the HOW, call me.

In response to many of the above mentioned items, engaging, fun, and educational content inside a game.

Have a look at www.teamingstream.com
There is a game that has been designed with leadership, team work, social interaction, and learning in mind. Solid, academic research (2 Ph.D's and one in progress) modelled into it.

And the best part of it, your supervisors don't have to leave thei desk to go for training. !

I know some excellent accelerated learning practitioners who would be very happy to have the work.

In the meantime, try The Accelerated Learning Handbook and focus on applying your knowledge of adult learners.
