The Entire Team
By including team members of all areas of the organization a business develops a shared financial language and corporate strategy. The teamwork that is harnessed during the business simulation flows back to the workplace. It provides stronger interdepartmental communication and problem solving throughout the entire company. This shared corporate vision translates directly into reduced costs, better customer outcomes and improved processes and systems.
Government Employees
Few government employees have business experience. This best practice training ensures that employees and departments learn the critical aspects of budgeting, cash-flow management, interdepartmental co-operation and strategic thinking, and how these factors influence the success of government programs and important department performance indicators.
