ABOUT THE COURSE
Through a series of board-based simulated exercises about the foundations of business, participants will learn firsthand how to monitor cash flow, better utilize resources and improve productivity. Participants will work with balance sheets and profit and loss statements, learn how to measure results and understand how daily decisions affect the company financially and strategically.
Participants are grouped in teams who are competing with each other. To see if a team wins or loses, the teams have to complete the financial statements for every simulated year. The learning curve is steep and, with new insights, participants come up with ideas to improve profitability. The workshop is a fun and effective approach to realizing serious business results.

- 鈥 Learn the basic business finance language and the logic of business 鈥 鈥渉ow it works.鈥

- Gain a better idea of the issues that arise when scaling a company for growth.
