Cash Flow Challenge

Simulation Outline

Cash Flow Challenge is an online interactive business simulation in which decisions are judged in terms of their style and effectiveness.

Users take on the role of the Financial Director of Daisy House, the largest operating division of an established major company. They are given the task of producing a positive cash flow of £1 million within the next month, the challenger is faced with a number of decisions that must be made in order to reach the target.

Like any real Financial Director, players have a team of people around them, offering advice, opinions and criticisms. This means that during the simulation each user is given a series scenarios with different individuals and departments within the organisation. These range from Operations, Sales and the Finance Department. Users also get to interact with the MD, the Bank and external customers and suppliers.

Within each scenario the user is presented with a number of options to choose from and decisions to make which may or may not generate cash flow. Some of the decisions the user can take may have a positive effect on the cash flow but do have a negative effect on the integrity of the organisation and thus its reputation.

At the end of the simulation, once the month is up, a detailed summary analyses their performance, scoring them according to their decision path and the amount of cash raised.

Having played the role of Financial Director themselves, this simulation will enable users to bridge the gap between theory and better business practice.
