We meet learners where they are—and guide them to the next step, and the one after that.
Games and simulations offer interactive and immersive ways to simplify the complexities of running a business. They create an engaging environment where learners can practice financial management, strategic decision-making, and team collaboration—without risk. A hands-on approach makes learning more accessible and helps participants retain insights long after the game ends.
For over 30 years, we’ve been at the forefront of designing business acumen simulations, offering companies innovative tools and training programs that drive measurable results.
We turn challenging subjects into interactive, captivating experiences that keep everyone involved and having fun.
Learners dive into financial concepts and emerge with clarity, armed with business understanding and insights.

As part of Beam Suntory’s tailored Finance & Strategy workshops, employees gained practical tools to improve commercial acumen — and the impact was immediate.
During one workshop, an Account Executive realized they were lowering prices more than necessary in the simulation. That got them thinking: Was this happening in the real world too?
Back at their office, the Account Executive reviewed their pricing strategy and discovered they could reduce discounts by $700,000 per year — without affecting sales volume.
The change was significant:
Insight: The Account Executive connected pricing decisions to profitability during the workshop.
Action: They reduced unnecessary discounts, increasing revenue without losing sales.
Result:
→ Increased Profit is a Better Business Result! Income|Outcome is a profitable investment (it more than pays for itself!).
The Program
This was a 2-day Finance & Strategy program, tailored to include some dynamics specific to the beverage industry. Over a 2-year period, the program was rolled out to over 500 people in the Americas and Europe. We partnered with Percept Research to conduct pre- and post-workshop surveys measuring the impact. Six weeks after the workshop, participants reported significant improvements in their business acumen, with noticeable gains in decision-making, alignment with company goals, and understanding of financial health.
Today Beam Suntory continues to build commercial acumen using the Income|Outcome business simulation.
Introducing business acumen training across your organization leads to multiple benefits:
Increased interdepartmental support, especially for the finance department. More respect for other departments and higher morale.
Finance is the language of business, and a common language across the organization leads to improved speed and accuracy of communication (which means easier and shorter team meetings!)
A deeper understanding of business operations leads to smarter financial decisions and outcomes.

The Income|Outcome facilitator was presenting the "it is important to get good and timely numbers in the budget process" speech. One of the participants in the classroom was the budget officer for an international pharmaceutical company; she gave her animated support of this message. VERY animated support--in her experience, sales people were not quick to request the sales targets she requested.
Later, when teams were asked to provide target numbers, her response was "I can't give you a number because we don't know for sure which customers we are going to win....oh." She then stood up and told all of the salespeople in the room that she now understood their world better, but that they still had to get her good numbers, and on time!
(Silver lining- her team nailed their budget.)

"I think business acumen is an understanding of what an organisation does or needs to do to work and how the market works too. It's asking questions outside of your role and knowing how your role and others fit together to get the best outcomes. Also understanding how decisions you make can affect other areas."
