The experience:

This program simulates four business years. Twelve teams represent different parts of the business supply chain, from providers to retailers.

We as Silega simulate the market. Participants compete in teams to create and sell different solutions. They have the opportunity to choose between six main products (the number can be adjusted for larger groups). In order to be successful, participants must manage relationships with other players, calculate costs and profit, and establish a marketing strategy.

This simulation is extremely dynamic with a lot of time pressure, running around, and fun. It is also very serious and impactful because we measure the reputation of all teams on the market in real time (based on feedback from the rest of the teams).

Participants must deal with fierce competition, tight resources, changing customer requirements, different market niches, lack of sufficient information, time pressure, and expectations from stakeholders and top management.

This simulation can also be used as a part of customer service training because it teaches participants how to better understand the voice of the customer, whether internal or external . If they don’t, participants experience losses and some teams may even go bankrupt.
