Developing financial acumen at Univar

At ProfitAbility, we have been fortunate enough to work with John Dix for a number of years, during his time at two global companies.

In this short video, John describes his experiences of working with the PBS team during his time at Univar, the chemical distribution company. We worked together to deliver financial acumen training to senior leaders, across various functions within the organisation.

Each program consists of 2 x four hour training sessions. During 2023, we delivered 8 programs to 240 participants, who provided positive feedback once they had completed the program.

Mastering the Economics of Complex Systems

For PepsiCo, alignment across its franchise bottling system was essential - but hard to achieve in practice. If either party prioritised its own profit, the whole system suffered.

To address this, PepsiCo relaunched its Mastering System Economics initiative after 30 years - anchored on a “North Star” of sustainable profit split. To make this real, they partnered with ProfitAbility Business Simulations (PBS) to create an immersive experience that forced leaders to practise finding win–win solutions under pressure.
