Going for Profit

A Northgate Training Game

Run a business with this business simulation game. Ideal for your course, conference, seminar or team building event.

“Going for Profit!” is a popular business simulation game. It sets competing teams the enjoyable task of running their own Pizza business for a year.

In this interactive business simulation game, teams compete within the same market.

They first tender for one of the available business sites – the student area, by the theatre, or in the town centre.

Depending on the tender bid, the computer allocates site.
    
When allocated their site teams have to decide on pricing, product quality, staffing, market research and advertising.

It is not all number work! Teams need to design and construct a box to house its pizzas and design any advertising they decide to undertake. The trainer awards points accordingly.

There are four periods during the business game when teams complete decision forms, which are entered into a computer and a print-out gives the results in the form of a quarterly profit and loss report. Like any business if one team is very efficient and attracting lots of customers, the sales in the other pizza shops will be reduced and reflected in the profit and loss reports. Is a change of strategy needed?

Various threats and opportunities arise – such as a health and safety issue; should they invest in home deliveries; should they expand the premises and diversify into take away foods and drinks.

Doing all these tasks means teams must be well organised, well lead and able to work together against tight deadlines. The most profitable takeaway at the end of the quarterly reports, wins.

During the business game, the trainer has ample opportunity to observe teams in action. Lively discussion often continues well after the end of the session!

“Going for Profit!” allows teams to experience and test their commercial acumen in a highly competitive market. It requires good teamwork and good understanding of the target audience.

• forecasting and project planning
• costing, ordering and pricing
• quality of product and service
• analysing financial data
• quality of product and service
