The Business Experience is a hands-on simulation introducing delegates to the realities of managing a business. Teams of delegates make financial, staffing and strategic decisions and experience the consequences in a competitive environment.

The Business Experience can be tailored to the needs of the user group in terms of complexity, content and learning outcomes.

Learning Outcomes

The learning outcomes are highly flexible. The following are typical examples:

• The difference between profit and cash
• Methods of improving a company's cash position
• Competition and competitive strategies, from price to quality and marketing
• The meaning of the income statement (profit & loss account) and the balance sheet
• The importance of customer satisfaction
• The importance and nature of risk management
• The essential nature of the human resource function
• Benefits of training and staff development
• Management of workflow, work in progress and stocks

The approach of The Business Experience reinforces the integrated nature of business management and guarantees that staff both understand organisational goals and how their achievement is affected by an individual's actions.

Flexibility

The Business Experience works well with up to 30 delegates and can be adjusted by the facilitators to be suitable in a wide range of situations:

• Introducing accounting concepts, financial statements and financial control (eg budgeting)
• Reinforcing the importance of all an organisation's functions
• Ensuring staff properly understand the implications of their actions on the wider organisation
• Improving general commercial and financial awareness
• Raising the profile of risk management

Duration

A delivery of The Business Experience lasts for one or two days. Clearly two days allow a wider number of topics to be covered and offers increased potential to link the topics to the organisation's strategy and policies.

Always included

• Two experienced presenters to facilitate delivery
• Tailoring of the delivery to achieve your desired outcomes
• Course notes for the delegates to take away
• Short lectures on key topics to reinforce corporate messages
• All materials, handouts and instructions
