The method
ARXIBALD

An approach proven in operations, transposed to the business field. Learning by doing, with immediate feedback, for immediate learning.

Teaching model

The
70 / 20 / 10

Our training relies on the 70/20/10 model, favoured by the world's best military and academic organisations. A balance that promotes the lasting embedding of skills.

70%
Practical simulations
Field exercises, operational simulations, real cases, role-play and challenges under pressure. You learn by doing, as in operations.
20%
Feedback & collective debrief
Individual and collective feedback from the trainers. Analysis of observed behaviours, identification of strengths and areas for improvement.
10%
Theoretical input
The conceptual input is short, dense and directly applicable. It provides the framework, not the solution.

Teaching approach

Action Learning

Action Learning is the guiding thread of the ARXIBALD method. It means learning through action, in real time, on participants' real challenges, rather than on textbook cases disconnected from the field.

Each teaching sequence follows a virtuous cycle that promotes learning. Repetition then builds muscle memory of the right decision-making and managerial reflexes.

Participants do not "receive" training. They live an experience that transforms them.

All our trainers come from the Special Forces. They are not teachers or consultants: they are operators who exercised these skills in real conditions, in operations. Officers, doctors, psychologists, top-level athletes, they bring more than 20 years of experience and pass on what they have lived.

"Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I will understand."

The foundations

The 3 pillars
of the ARXIBALD method

The ARXIBALD method combines the expertise of the Special Forces with the power of artificial intelligence, adapting them to the economic realities of businesses. It rests on 3 pillars.

01

"The man is the regiment"

We develop the potential of every man and woman to build exceptional teams, in service of a long-term vision. Absolute priority is given to people, so that each individual carries the collective.

02

"Who Dares Wins"

Boldness is a decision, and deciding collectively requires acting with method. We teach the Special Forces' collective decision-making method, augmented by the power of AI.

03

"The never ending pursuit of excellence"

Operational excellence is never improvised. It is built through cycles of continuous improvement, a culture of lessons-learned and the systematic practice of the After Action Review. Questioning yourself after every project, every decision, every failure as well as every success: that is the engine for thinking like the Special Forces.
