We offer several complementary tools designed to help participants understand the company’s financial principles in a step-by-step, participatory manner that is directly tied to real-world situations.
From business model to financial cycle: the plateau
Purpose:
Discover and understand a company's financial cycle, its objectives, and its results through a guided activity centered around a game board.
The key financial ratios appear step-by-step, along with your company's indicators and data.
The tool:
We offer a version of this Plexiglas tray with rotating moving components.
On the tray is a diagram representing an intuitive, step-by-step approach to financial logic based on cash flow.
Details :
No rules to learn. Instant setup and start-up.
- 1 - Identify the four key components of the game board:
invested capital, capital employed, revenue, and operating income. - 2 - Explore the balance sheet and working capital requirements (WCR):
Using your group’s data, reconstruct and calculate the four components of the simplified balance sheet (current assets, liabilities, working capital requirements, and net fixed assets) and earn your first in-game rewards in the form of numerical data. - 3 - Mastering the income statement and margins:
: Using the group’s income statement, reconstruct and calculate the three operating balances (revenue, EBIT, and net income), and earn rewards that will be used later in the game. - 4 - Connect the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow:
Link each transaction to one of the arrows in the financial cycle shown on the game board. - 5 - Use key operational performance indicators:
Calculate KPIs by combining elements on the game board and earn rewards in the form of magnetic KPI labels with numerical values.
This typical route can be customized by adding steps specific to your business.
For example: understanding the implications of long-term project management (percentage-of-completion accounting), as well as the risks and impacts on results associated with inaccurate budgets and/or performance reports.
We have rolled out this tool to various non-finance teams within large corporations, and it has proven to be clear, logical, and engaging.

The 7 families of management
Purpose:
Introduce all staff members to the specifics of your business’s financial management in a fun and engaging way.
Details :
Each of the illustrated cards is unique and serves as a preview of the training. They depict simple concepts such as revenue, personnel expenses, inventory, cash, etc.
An innovative approach that views training as a long-term process, enabling communication between the various—and sometimes widely spaced—stages of a training project: launch, announcement, pilot, phased rollout, and refresher training are all stages that can span several months.
Before the training session, the cards are sent to participants in several batches, and they are asked to form families. The sense of gradually completing a collection creates a spirit of friendly competition.
During the training sessions, the cards are reused during the financial statement presentation sequences.
Participants are then asked to place the cards in the correct positions on the financial statement templates, that is, opposite the corresponding labels.
