BUILDING BUSINESS ACUMEN
A high value one-day workshop for FMs
Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington
An opportunity to enhance your Financial and Business skills!

Hi , 

Facilities Managers are being challenged in unprecedented ways to get business and financial results.  Every day the actions and decisions of FMers affect the financial performance and bottom-line of their organisations. It is therefore critical to understand how their team, the departmental objectives and their own jobs fit into the big picture of financial and strategic goals. 

Format
This one-day programme, packed with value, is run in two parts.

Part A: Business Simulation
Zodiak®: The Game of Business and Finance

Zodiak is a sophisticated simulation disguised as a board game. Participants take the role of new owners of a struggling organisation and make critical operating decisions.  They run the organisation for a three-year period, handling “chance events” and responding to the business environment they are in.  
In doing so they need to deal with items such as cash flow, return on equity, working capital and managing assets.  They also produce their financial statements at years end and analyse results.

Part B: Connections (in conjunction with Finance)
After the simulation, participants explore their organisation’s strategies, processes, terminology, profit / margin drivers, cash flow, plant and staff utilisation, competition and more.  The objective is to connect their day-to-day actions to the bottom-line, raising financial acumen.

Learning Objectives

After completing the  programme, participants will be able to:
  • Use relevant financial data and analysis in day-to-day decision making
  • Demonstrate an enhanced understanding of their organisation’s strategies and financial objectives
  • Ask questions to clarify financial and business objectives when implementing new systems, processes and procedures
  • Align personal and departmental goals with their organisation‘s financial objectives and strategies
  • Use financial terminology and concepts more confidently in discussions with others
