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.

… Participant comments on the TEAM Program

   This was an interesting experience that gave me valuable insight into the team
   dynamics of my classmates and into my own strengths and weaknesses
   An innovative program that elicits organic leadership and behavioral team-based
   traits – a great tool!
   This is helpful for learning how other members work, as a preemptive strategy for
   future teamwork
   I found it very useful to learn business basics and learned about each other’s
   leadership styles
