Teams will experience the impact of every decision they make, not just in their own functional ‘silo’ but across their business, and the entire value chain!
The Fresh Connection is an innovative web-based business simulation game. It engages participants in turning around a manufacturer of fruit juices. In teams of 4, participants will represent the functional roles of VP Purchasing, VP Operations, VP Supply Chain, and VP Sales. Participants will be confronted with various real-life, real-time dilemmas. Cross-functional understanding and collaboration are key components, as teams work together to turn the company around.
SIMULATION OBJECTIVES
LEARNING OUTCOMES
GAME SETUP
Participants get to run their own virtual company called The Fresh Connection, a manufacturer of fruit juices. Faced with declining performance, the management team must get the company back on track as quickly as possible. It is a high-pressure environment in which effective supply chain management is the key to success!
Every decision a participant makes has trade-offs, both within and across roles. Alignment of all the disciplines and the implementation of an effective supply chain strategy will be key to success. Winning will be about generating the best Return on Investment (ROI) for the business while still managing your own team’s Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) and targets!
Why is The Fresh Connection different?
For a subject as vital as Value Chain Management, it is not enough to tell people how it works. They must experience it! The Fresh Connection is a different way of learning that puts participants at the heart of a lifelike simulation so they can experience the impact of every decision they make, not just in their own ‘silo’ but across the business.
By team experience, participants measure their performance and receive constant feedback from the certified trainer leading the business game. Between rounds, participants reflect on their decisions and the outcome. They are introduced to new concepts and then go back to put what they have learned into practice in the next round. It is this ‘Magic Circle’ that makes The Fresh Connection so powerful.
Participants who have experienced The Fresh Connection find it is not only highly effective but has a lasting impact. Delivering long-term benefits based on business best practices makes The Fresh Connection the Ultimate Learning Experience.
