Visual Finance - using the VF app in the classroom

A robust workshop on business finance—or business acumen—helps participants develop a deeper understanding of financial statements: their structure, interconnections, uses, and limitations. This enhanced understanding drives better information flow, smarter decision-making, and improved financial outcomes.

One key to the success of Income|Outcome workshops is the unique board game simulation. By portraying the Income Statement and Balance Sheet as integral parts of the game, participants seamlessly transfer insights from the simulation to real-world companies. This is always showcased through our "Company Board" module at the end of workshops, where we discuss a real company’s strategic position and the impact participants can have on its structure and results.

We also leverage the Visual Finance web app—a free, interactive tool available at visualfinanceweb.com—to reinforce these lessons. Visual Finance transforms raw financial data into engaging, interactive visuals, making it particularly valuable for publicly traded companies.

The benefits extend even further in sales training. At the Sales University of one of our Fortune 50 clients, senior sales managers (with 10–25 years of experience) now use Visual Finance to open conversations with CFOs. The tool’s engaging interface appeals immediately to finance professionals. Moreover, these sales managers use Visual Finance to educate their junior teams, showcasing their company’s financial health and highlighting opportunities and challenges with current and potential customers.
