Philippe Weiss Discusses Workplace Simulations on WGN Radio’s Noon Business Lunch

Philippe Weiss, president of Seyfarth at Work, appeared on WGN Radio Chicago’s "Noon Business Lunch" on June 9, 2026, where he discussed the value of workplace simulations and role-playing in manager and employee training and meetings.

Weiss explained that simulations are highly effective in helping organizations prepare for challenging situations by practicing responses in advance. He emphasized that businesses cannot rely on instinct alone in high-risk or unfamiliar scenarios, and that rehearsal can lead to better outcomes.

He added that while simulations are widely used in government settings, they remain underutilized in corporate environments—despite being a simple and effective training tool.
