A course in managing rapid and effective organization change through understanding how business really works in terms of the company, its customers and competitors.
This intensive two day company operations, marketing and management strategies training program provides a "hands-on" opportunity to experience the effects of operations decisions and business strategy in a simulated company environment. Decision Base, a non-computerized simulation of a functioning company that enables participants to make their own manufacturing, sales, marketing, finance and product R&D decisions resulting in greater insight, awareness and understanding of their own, their customer's and competitor's company operations in today's rapidly changing global competitive environment.
During the ten (10) years of company operation participants work in teams to plan and implement company operations on a quarterly basis. Each team, functioning as a company, competes with other teams. All companies start out on equal terms and are able at all times to observe the consequences of their decisions. At the end of each "year" they receive help in interpreting the course of events. They develop their own annual profit and loss statements and balance sheets, as well as production, new product, marketing and financial strategies. Time is provided for all teams to analyze their performance at the close of the training program. There are no predetermined "winners" as the outcome of the ten year competition between the companies is determined only by the interactive competitive decisions of the companies and their collective interaction with the marketplace.
The instructor serves as consultant to each team, helping them to analyze the course of events and reach conclusions. The realities of business operations are interspersed by the instructor in a series of lectures between operation years.
