(A conversation with a local electrician, one year after he attended a 1-day Income|Outcome workshop.)
Electrician:
“It did make a difference. I was trying to figure out whether I should be getting a new truck or not. I closed my eyes so I could imagine the board and moved the chips around — like I was buying a truck. Then I moved the chips around like I wasn’t buying a truck.
“I kind of looked at it all, and you know what I figured? I didn’t actually need a new truck, but I had way too much money tied up in supplies, parts, and equipment.”
Andromeda:
“What did you decide to do?”
Electrician:
“I decided to reduce the inventory and think about it again in six months.”
He didn’t just see the chips — he saw the bigger financial picture.
In just 4-6 hours, your team will dive into the essentials of business acumen. But don't be fooled by the brevity—Better Business Decisions is a dynamic, hands-on experience that shows how all parts of a business come together to generate value.
Teams run a simulated business, making decisions around production, marketing, and finance—without the high stakes of real-world operations. Whether new to business acumen or just in need of a refresher, participants will see firsthand how their decisions impact the company's financial results.
This is not your typical finance training—it’s a serious game. Participants work in teams, making decisions around production, marketing, and finance, and then see how those choices affect their company’s performance. By the end of the workshop, they’ll have a clearer understanding of how businesses operate and how their role fits into the bigger picture.
Because finance training isn’t just about numbers—it’s about understanding the story those numbers tell.
"I never understood why cash flow was so important. Coming from R&D I was never exposed to the issue."
"Business acumen is the ability to understand and deal with business risks and opportunities in a manner that is likely to facilitate a good outcome. It involves financial literacy, strategic thinking, market awareness, and operational insight. "
"The purpose of this program is to teach, not only finance, but it was really good and brought out the connection between sales and finance, on how one affects and interacts with the other."
