Business Simulation Games
Our in-house and fully cloud-based retail simulation game pitches up to five teams in an intensely competitive retail environment. We can customise the scenario; anything from surfshops to shoes, white-goods to homewares. The game is played over four seasons, at the end of each season the teams review their results and then input next season's planned purchases, choose suppliers, retail prices, markdowns, wages, advertising and training budgets. Market Research can be "paid" for as well.
Being cloud based, the game can be played on anything from a desktop (ideal) to a phone or iPad anywhere around the world at anytime. Seasons can be of any length of time in the real-world, it just requires an administrator to roll the seasons (one team can play this role). However, in our experience, the game is best played in a fully facilitated fashion over a full day, such as a conference, where we can offer coaching and provide the opportunity to have a debrief on learning outcomes.
Airline pilots train in simulators for good reason, namely because the cost of mistakes isn't anywhere near as high as in the real world. The same logic applies to retail businesses too. Your business can gain a distinct competitive advantage by honing your team's analytical and decision making skills with our simulation.
Open the demo and explore the data that a typical team is given. It will be view only, so the interactive charts and drop-down boxes are frozen in the demo mode.
