Profit Games
Our Profit experiences deliver financial literacy, commercial acumen and bigger picture understanding. In running a simulated business, participants quickly grasp the everyday and strategic decisions which influence financial performance.
How it works
Teams are dropped into a simulated cross-functional business setting. They quickly experience the challenges of meeting internal and external customer needs meaning they must redesign processes, roles and communications to overcome silos and accelerate performance.
Key outcomes
•
Effective pricing and differentiation strategies; understanding the risks of dealing in discounts and a "race to the bottom"
•
Understanding cost base, market features, customer requirements and competitor strategies
•
Understanding Income /Profit and Loss statements
•
Recalling the connection (and differences) between sales and profit
Teams compete against each other to build the most profitable manufacturing business. Over a series of game rounds (simulated months), they must decide what products to make and which customers to attract - all whilst ensuring they manage cashflow.
Each round contains a distinct learning exercise ranging from budgeting to managing capital. At the end of each round, P&L statements and balance sheets must be completed correctly to reflect the decisions and outcomes in that month.
Reflections and facilitated discussions help to create insights to take back into the real world.

•
Financial literacy

Greater cross-functional alignment (e.g. between sales and finance)
