Abilitie Launches Short-form Simulations
Austin, TX (USA), February 2026 - Abilitie, a leader in experiential leadership development, has announced the launch of Case Challenges, a new two-hour, facilitated leadership practice experience designed to help leaders build decision-making capability through immersive, real-world scenarios.
Case Challenges expand Abilitie’s practice-based portfolio by giving leaders a structured environment to practise real decision making inside an unfolding business story. Rather than learning about leadership concepts, participants step directly into realistic scenarios where tradeoffs are unavoidable, and decisions actively shape what happens next.
"Our clients kept telling us the same thing,” said Bjorn Billhardt, CEO at Abilitie. “They wanted meaningful leadership practice, but in a format that could fit into the flow of work.”
Each Case Challenge places participants in pairs or small teams and immerses them in common organisational friction points such as alignment, prioritisation, profitability, communication, and change. Decisions are made in real time, consequences are visible, and leadership behaviours surface naturally through action rather than discussion alone.
Technology supports the experience without replacing the human elements that make leadership development stick. AI-enabled environments respond dynamically to participant input, while expert facilitators guide reflection and application to ensure learning transfers back to the job.
Case Challenges are now available globally across multiple topics including navigating critical conversations, influencing without authority, creating strategic alignment, managing profitability, and leading through change.
Abilitie will be exhibiting at the Learning Technologies conference, April 29-30, where attendees will be able to see Case Challenges in action.
