Said about us, short
Our seminars do of course create a lot of thoughts and learnings. Below you can read some of the thoughts gathered over the years. These learnings concern our Business Simulations. We hope to read thoughts from your managers here soon!
Seminar feedback from participants
Business
• The importance of close follow up of agreed strategies, look after the balance between strategy and opportunistic activities
• The principles, the importance of good sales forecasts, the understanding of addressing actions at the right moment
• I now understand EVA, where I stand and what I can do to help the company to grow.
• For me as a regional account manager payment terms and bad payment was very important. Understanding of bad costs
• A cost can be good or bad. Assets can be affected by everyone in the company just like costs. Discounts have to be compensated by huge increases in sales volume!
Team
• Group interaction caused some serious reflection on my own style of interacting
• First time in an intensive financial/business simulation – not only emphasized the key business principles also reinforced the need for team dynamics, balance of knowledge + communication, abilities and task – organization, time management
• The comrades and FUN! The business simulation made the seminar Fun and encouraged participation.
Method
• I thought the feedback & teaching sessions were excellent as well. I think that using humor in it was an excellent way to have fun during some long days
• This simulation has taught me the influence of decisions and how they can have a long-term effect. The “secret” code of my accounting department is actually an understandable language which has been shown by this class
• The balance between lectures and group time kept my attention level high. Open air forum for comments and questions
• All the hands-on activities. It also helps doing 4 years so we have a chance to learn from our mistakes
• Good learning opportunity without being preached at. We learned concept by doing!
• The lectures were very articulate, entertaining and still informative
• The simulation was a great tool. Fun and informative and very close model of our business
• This approach is really the best one to succeed in teaching difficult material in a funny way.
General
• The whole exercise was a hoot!
• This was more productive and important than any other seminar I’ve been to!
• Very good experience in a business learning atmosphere. Everyone in technical or marketing should have it
• Other ways of looking at EVA and Profitability. Good and Bad costs – and that you can use it in your day to day work. Meeting new colleagues, networking, have fun & laugh a lot and out loud!! The opportunity to try aggressive marketing strategies without being fired
