Exceed is creating waves with their new Business Skills Training course, which uses The Fishing Game™  to help employees understand their role in creating business success.

The world of business is an increasingly competitive and cut-throat environment. Research has proven over and over that long-term sustainability is no longer a matter of hiring ‘hands’ and working hard. For a business to succeed in this conceptual age employees must be contributors, innovators and creators; and businesses must create a forum to tap into the potential of their employees.

Exceed’s 3-day Business Skills Training (BST) course does exactly that.

Designed for employees across all levels, the course uses the analogy of starting and operating one's own fishing business. Participants develop a business plan, prepare income statements and balance sheets, and get into the nitty-gritty of operating their own business. Topics such as non-productive time and asset utilisation are covered in detail with teams producing action plans on how to combat these sources of lost revenue and improve productivity

The Fishing Game™, a super-size board game for up to 50 players, was developed to drive the concepts home. Says Angela Wigham (game designer): “the game provides a good combination of fun and learning. It taps into the creative right brain and provides memory hooks to aid understanding of the concepts. It also stimulates further discussion and integrates seamlessly into the workshop outline.”

To ensure maximum impact, the Business Skills Training course as well as The Fishing Game are customised to fit a client’s specific industry.
