What Sahara is about
You've been hired as a consultant by a Canadian sustainable construction startup with a serious problem: delegation just isn't working, and the company is edging closer to bankruptcy.
There's a way out: winning a major competition that would fund their next big project in the Sahara, building homes out of recycled plastic bottles to improve life in a refugee camp. To get there, the team has to learn to share the work for real, and you're the one who shows them how to delegate.
Along the way, the in-game simulator turns delegation training into real practice: you delegate in realistic situations, in a safe, stress-free environment, and get detailed feedback on your areas for improvement.

- What delegation gives you: more productivity for you and more trust within your team.
