Business acumen in team-based experiential learning workshops

With Income/Outcome, learners become entrepreneurial executives, teams become corporate giants, and the classroom becomes an entire industry.  This is an ideal environment for learning – everything has immediate application to the gameboard entity, and is directly transferable to the real world.

Income/Outcome is a family of business models that present the real-world drivers of real-world business. You can use Income/Outcome  to meet a range of financial and business acumen training needs -  from workforce development to leadership programs to major strategic initiatives.

This is a team-based competition with dynamics that reflect the chosen industry.  A facilitator coaches teams and individuals, ensuring active participation from start to finish. Participants hone their financial and analytical skills as they “run the numbers”, planning and acting on real-world business challenges presented in the hands-on financial simulation.

From less complex half-day sessions to strategic four-day sessions, Income/Outcome is a powerful and effective learning event that everyone enjoys. It’s expertly structured and guided, but casually presented so participants loosen up as they immerse themselves in a lively, merciless activity. And the programs incorporate a full mix of experiencial learning styles:  auditory, visual, kinesthetic and tactile-kinesthetic. 

In each program, the competitive dynamics are structured cyclically with the overlay of increasing use of planning and analytic tools.  At the end of the competitive segment, the learning transitions from the simulation to a visualization of the client’s real-world business results and its competitive environment.   Learners examine the priorities and challenges of the company, with the same fresh big-picture understanding that they have developed during the simulation.  Everyone can visualize and understand the range of impact they have on the company: profitability, cash flow, working capital, customer service, and more.

The classroom is structured in teams of 2 to 5 individuals; typically 12 – 30 learners in total, though larger groups are possible.  Andromeda Training provides all necessary components, either off-site or in your facility.   Trainer certification is also available.

Our facilitators are skilled and knowledgeable in business finance as well as training, organizational development and group process consulting.  Call us to discuss how you can introduce our programs to suit your corporate mission and objectives.
