Going for Profit!
A Northgate  Training Game

An ideal business simulation game
for a training course, seminar or conference.

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 sites and teams 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 is 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.

An excellent business simulation game to explore issues of:

• forecasting and project planning
• costing, ordering and pricing
• quality of product and service
• analysing financial data
• quality of product and service
• decision making
• time management
• teamwork and leadership
  

The team folders for this business game are now available in French and Spanish.

“We had a very successful sales seminar which everyone enjoyed. We especially enjoyed the Pizza Game which taught everyone about the importance of making the correct decision and how it affects the outcomes.

It was ideal having the team information sheets translated into French and Spanish as it enabled the teams from France and Spain to compete on equal terms with the teams from the UK.”

"An interesting way of combining all aspects of the 'real life' business game in a short time.
Each quarter had its rhythm and the tempo went faster when the year end approached!
A very good way of exercising decision making in a team of different characters and skills. And it was fun!”                                                                                                           Laurie Sonko-Marie - Royal Society of Arts

"Good overview of various areas that you need to focus on for business.”      D. Patterson - Nokia
