Business Simulations Masterclasses

How can you make sure your business runs successfully and efficiently? Do you sometimes doubt whether you are making the right decisions to ensure the effective use of your resources? How do you reach out to and satisfy clients without financial setbacks?

Whether you are starting up in business or you have been trading for a while, this interactive business skills workshop will help you develop and hone good judgment when it comes to making those decisions helping you stay focused and sharp when running your business.

A business simulation workshop gives you the opportunity to run your own business in a virtual environment, as part of a team and in competition with other business people. You learn from practical results and you compare these with other members of your team, drawing on and learning from their viewpoints and experience too.

You will make decisions about your products and or services, how to set your prices, sales, promotion, resources, credit control, capital investment and more. You will learn how the right decisions drive financial success. But, unlike the real world you are not risking real money or real jobs!

  • I have worked with Rikki on the Childcare Affordability Programme since its inception and found her to be professional and very supportive, particularly with regards to the complex nature of administrating payments to parents. Rikki has an excellent understanding the nursery business both technically and commercially proving to be a consistently reliable source of information & sounding board for ideas & suggestions.

    Seonaide O'Neill, Owner, Little Bears Nursery

  • Rikki was brought in to do a set piece of work for Barnet Children's Centres around achieving childcare at cost neutral. Rikki worked with senior officers engaging them to think outside of the box – and to think that the childcare element of the centre was a business unit. Rikki developed a childcare business model for the centres to use in developing strategies for cost neutral. She has been an easy going individual and very receptive to the challenges that Barnet Council has presented.
