TangoTM

Tango is a unique two day business simulation. Working in 4 person teams, participants become the management team of an organization to run for 7 business cycles – pursuing its strategy to maximize profitability. As a result of this workshop, participants are given the tools & skills to effectively manage and improve the intangible assets of the organization – people, image, know-how or competence. Tango provides a common, visual based model and vocabulary. Teams compete against other teams for customers and employees, choosing their business strategy and managing their tangible & intangible assets for long-term financial results. Most importantly, participants learn to strike a balance between attracting the right employees and customers and ensuring adequate profits & cash flow. Tango demonstrates that none of these factors exists in isolation and a change in any one factor can radically affect the organization’s position in both the customer and employee markets which eventually affects profitability. What emerges is a clear understanding of how these factors affect an organization.

Who is this for?
• Companies who want to improve their organization’s profitability and competitiveness in the marketplace.
• Companies who want to create an environment where staff is energized & inspired.

Anticipated Results
