Business Acumen Simulation

There are ten recurrent dilemmas in leading any business. Learn to manage them all in a risk-free environment with XSIM. XSIM is a Business Acumen Simulation that places the participant in the role of a key member of the executive leadership team of a highly successful global Real-Time Entertainment business – NetBox. In this simulation, participants encounter all ten business dilemmas while managing NetBox to keep up with the market.

The Challenge

The aim of this simulation is to achieve or exceed target goals over a full financial year split into four quarters. Each quarter your team must react to both external changes in your market and internal changes in your enterprise by making decisions on pricing, product mix, operations, organizational health, and special projects.

Tools

Dashboard to track progress

• Simulation runs for one full fiscal year broken into four quarters. Track your results each week on a visual dashboard and review learning at the end of each round.
• Indicators and charts show how well NetBox is fairing in the market and within the organization.
• Charts show Profits & Loss, Profit Margins, Customer and Market Shares, and Price Premiums

Market Updates

• Teams are given briefing and market material prior to starting and are provided with market updates through the simulation to help them understand the changing market and factor those changes into their decisions.
