The Analogy

Pilots don’t learn by crashing real planes. They use Flight Simulators—realistic environments where they can fail safely and iterate to mastery.

Strategic Flight Simulator

The Stratona Boardroom® functions as a Flight Simulator for high-stakes business decisions:

• Realistic Environment: Simulated personas so accurate they feel real
• Safe Failure: Test approaches without burning bridges
• Rapid Iteration: Refine strategy in hours, not months
• Skill Transfer: Mastery gained in simulation applies to reality

Why It Works

High-Ticket Transformation: Consultant practiced pitch with Visionary Engineer simulation. First real-world approach failed. Simulation revealed the flaw: he was speaking “empathy language” to a “systems thinker.” Reprogrammed pitch, succeeded immediately.

The Value Proposition

Cost of simulation: hours and focused effort.
Cost of failure in reality: years of lost opportunity, burned relationships, reputational damage.

Flight Simulators exist because real crashes are too expensive. Same logic applies to strategic decisions.
