After an Income|Outcome workshop, a Purdue EMBA student had a game-changing insight for his pharmaceutical company.

The manufacturing team frequently used an expensive, oversized test tube. The student realized that with minimal retooling, they could switch to a smaller, cheaper alternative.

‍

He quickly ran the numbers and identified potential savings? $4 million annually.

‍

But insight alone isn’t enough. Drawing from the financial skills he gained in the simulation, the student crafted a solid business case with clear financial calculations. He took it to the finance team, who greenlit the plan immediately — and the company saw the anticipated savings.
