Participants work in teams, make business decisions in risk-free exercises and examine the results. Its portfolio spans strategy, marketing, hospitality, banking, energy, telecom, retail, automotive and investment management.

Cesim says instructors can add as many participants as they want; markets can have 3–12 teams, with 2–8 members per team. The platform runs in a browser without software installation or IT assistance and integrates with learning management systems for enrollment, grading and content linking.
