"Making key people understand how and why their decisions influence the entire organization."

Six capital-intensive companies are competing for customers in a highly competitive, rapidly changing marketplace. Participants take on the role of the management team – comprised of finance, production, marketing and corporate intelligence. Their challenge is to make the right investments at the right time – and to get the required return.

Teams manage the strategic, operational and financial variables that will help lower costs and penetrate new markets.

Tough investment decisions lie ahead:

Invest now…or later?
Pursue all markets… or just a few?
Take the lead… or be an early follower?
Build efficient assembly lines… or flexible flow shops?
Borrow money… or earn it first?
Stick to the basics… or pursue the cutting edge?

Teams learn to better utilize financial statements and financial ratios as planning tools to boost productivity and profitability over a 10-year period. Working together, they increase their awareness of the complex nature of inter-departmental financial relationships. And in the process, they understand what it takes to pull in the same direction – as well as how to bring their new skills and insights into reality.
