Winning in Business: Improve Financial Understanding and Decision Making Around Key Performance
Make better strategic decisions to perform at a higher level and gain a competitive edge.
The Winning in Business simulation helps leaders make better strategic decisions, understand how each business unit contributes to the broader organization’s goals, and drive the company’s profitability and growth. This is an engaging business simulation in which managers practice making choices in areas such as forecasts and pricing, product development, human resources, global growth and operations, strategic initiatives and branding.
Winning in Business is a powerful, flexible, digital simulation that puts managers in the driver’s seat of a virtual company. In the simulation, managers compete to construct and run the most profitable and sustainable company in an evolving marketplace. Over the course of three simulated years, managers must plan for and respond to a variety of events and external pressures.
Managers will have to balance variables and make strategic decisions in a number of business units and across a range of areas, from forecasting, global growth and operations to pricing, branding, new product development, human resources, and strategic initiatives.
Participants compete for market share against computer-based competitors and results and feedback are provided at the end of each round, describing how the participants performed in the market and the impact of their decisions on key performance indicators, growth and profitability.
Who should attend?
Front-line leaders, Mid-level leaders, Senior leaders
