6. Our Simulation-Based Business Workshops
Teams run 'real', hands-on businesses in competition with each
other.
The Process…
Students will use basic financial tools to plan production activities,
resource requirements, measure performance and benchmark
against the competition. Participants get to observe the outcome of
their business decisions, thereby acquiring an understanding of the
relationship between decisions made and outcomes realized.
Participants get a view into how they and their peers behave in a
“pressure-cooker” environment. The experience helps break down
barriers and encourages co-operation. Our programs accelerate the
pace at which students get to know one other, leading to improved
team productivity.
