is “Learning by doing”.

The employees are trained
in a separate area where the
actual working conditions
are duplicated.
E.g. Simulation, Lectures,
Case Studies, etc.

4. Role Play

5. Role Play
• It involves action, doing and practice. Method of human
interaction that involves realistic behavior in imaginary
situations.
• Role playing is an active learning technique in which
employees act out situations under the guidance of a trainer.
• In each scenario, employees take on a role and act out the
scene as though it were real.
• It encourages individuals to come together to find solutions
and to get to know how their colleagues think. The training
sessions have the communal atmosphere.

6. Role Play
• Feedback can be given by trainer as well as peers.
• Role playing can be effective in connecting theory and
practice.
• The objective of role playing is to learn, improve or
develop upon the skills or competencies necessary for a
specific position.
• Key skills often touched upon are negotiating and
teamwork.

7. Role Play
How to Use Role Play

• Add details.
• Assign roles.
• Act out the scenario.

9. Role Play
Example
• In an effort to improve customer support, John,
Customer Service Manager for Mythco Technologies,
sets up a team role-playing session. Acting as the
leader/trainer, John brings together a group of
software developers and customer support
representatives.
• He divides the 12 people into two groups: Group A
represents the customer support representatives;
Group B represents the customer.

10. Role Play
Scenario
• John tells Group A that the customer in this situation is one of
Mythco's longest-standing customers. This customer accounts
for nearly 15 percent of the company's overall annual revenue.
In short, the company cannot afford to lose her business!
• John tells Group B that the customer has recently received a
software product that did not live up to expectations. While the
customer has a long-standing relationship with Mythco, this
time she's growing weary because Mythco has previously sold
her faulty software on two separate occasions. Clearly, her
relationship with Mythco is in jeopardy.

11. Role Play
• Next – with this particular approach to role-play – each group
sends forth an "actor" to take part in the role-play. The actor
receives support and coaching from members of the team
throughout the role-playing process. Each team is able to take
time-outs and regroup quickly as needed.
• John runs through the scenario several times, starting with the
"customer" behaving gently and ending with the customer
behaving aggressively. Each time, a best solution is found. Of
course, John can always ask for additional role-playing and
suggestions if he feels that the process needs to continue, or that
the team has yet to uncover the very best solutions.

interactions and on-going process for interaction..
• Sometimes, the trainer introduces certain planned activities involving one or
two professional trainers set in with each group.

what specific learning points or critical
behavior they have to watch.
