The Fresh Connection: the ultimate value chain experience
The Fresh Connection is a cross-functional learning experience that through the use of a sophisticated business simulation creates a rich learning experience that teaches participants to:
- Work effectively as a team
- Put strategy into action
- Develop a structured communication process
- Manage contemporary business trade-offs
The Mechanics
The Fresh Connection requires participants to make strategic and tactical decisions to save the fictional company- The Fresh Connection- from financial ruin.
Participating in teams of four representing the functional roles of Operations, Purchasing, Sales, and Supply Chain, participants are required to consider corporate strategy and business objectives, means to effectively put strategy into action, contemporary business issues and trade-offs, and the need for structured decision making processes such as Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP).
By running in a series of ‘rounds’ that each constitute 6 months in the real world, participants are presented with the consequences of sub-optimal decision making. The impact of ineffective communication, poor decisions, lack of strategy or structure, and the need for change, are all made evident. Most importantly, participants learn that poor strategy and execution has a direct impact on company profitability. (APICS certified; 2 points/round).
