Apples & Oranges is a powerful -- and fun -- way to
learn how companies make money. In a hands-on simulation that
takes the
"mystery" out of business finance, participants learn how cash
circulates through companies and affects scarce resources. They gain a
better understanding of how purchasing decisions, changes in
productivity, and resource management affect companies’ profitability
and financial condition.
Back on the job, participants are better able
to:
-
understand what influences their customers’ cash flow and profitability
-
ask the strategic questions that uncover customer needs
-
better understand and support your company’s business strategy
-
modify their behavior to sell the value of your company’s products and
services
Apples & Oranges comes in four versions: Production,
Service, Health Care and Distribution.
Program Description
Apples & Oranges immerses participants in a hands-on, active environment.
During the simulation, participant teams run their own model company.
Participants gain a better understanding of profitability analysis, balance
sheets and income statements, and other financial indicators. The simulation
includes a continuous improvement exercise to keep teams on track. It concludes
by asking participants to develop an inventory of ways their newfound knowledge
can be used. |
