Overview

Project management under pressure.

The Sustainable Futures Lab (SFL) tests the project-management and crisis-decision skills at the heart of a modern assessment day. Select your scenario, weigh competing options and steer a programme to a defensible outcome within the time limit.

Two formats, one purchase. Every run lets you choose: the classic 20-minute question lab — 13 project-management questions against the clock — or the 30-minute team lab, where you lead a four-person research team through three field days of stations, intelligence triage, live decisions and daily reviews, then read a full debrief scored out of 100.

Our recreation keeps the structure of the real thing while giving you a clear, repeatable lab to practise in.
