Factoid: In 2000, BTS
launched its Mini-Master Platform that enables
rapid and cost effective development of highly custom business
simulations.
We custom build
computer-based business
simulations to reflect our customers' key
strategic and financial priorities. Our simulations are
created to be competitively dynamic so that the decisions made
by one team have a direct impact on the other teams’
results. We reinforce programs’ learning objectives by combining the
simulation with instructor-led discussions and feedback. The
blending of our customized simulation technology and content
curriculum offers participants a risk free opportunity to test out
a range of relevant strategies to drive business
results.

Factoid: In 2006, BTS
launched a version of its “Project Leadership
Live” simulation,
translated fully into Chinese!
Also known as
"best-practice" simulations, scenario
simulations are used to
build leadership, project management and sales
capabilities. The
simulations leverage decision tree structures in
realistic
case settings, enhanced with text, audio, still
photography and
video. Participants read and observe real-world
business situations in the simulation, and they
then have the
opportunity to react to the issues presented.
The participants must
choose a course of action, and the simulation
immediately presents
the impact of the users’ decisions on their
ultimate goal.

Factoid: BTS offers
hybrid board-computer simulations that create a
dynamic
competitive marketplace.
Board simulations are
“board games” that represent a company’s
operations and simulate
its business. During the simulation rounds,
participants
literally pick up and move “money” chips through
the different areas
of their company. This hands-on approach allows
participants to visualize the cash flow cycle in
action.

Factoid: Engage maps
have become the fastest growing area of new
solutions being deployed with our clients.
Engage Maps
create opportunities for large numbers of
Executives, Managers, and Employees to understand the
reasons for organizational change and to experience its
implications. Through jointly developed pre-designed formats, these
maps assist participants in transitioning to the
organization’s new environment and allow them to try out new
behaviors.

Factoid: BTS Global Tournament is the largest
business tournament in the world. Each year our global tournament attracts approximately 900
teams from companies around the globe.
Tournaments are multi-team, competitive simulations conducted via the Internet
with support and coaching from BTS consultants. Teams from various companies or from within the same company
participate virtually in these open or in-house learning experiences. The ultimate goal for all participants
is to enhance their business acumen and strategy execution skills within a dynamic and competitive environment.
Companies entering teams in BTS open and custom tournaments save on travel and facilities cost while retaining
the benefits of experiential learning. Virtual Tournaments give teams a learning experience equivalent to a
2- or 3-day classroom-based simulation delivered virtually using the Internet and web-conferencing.

Factoid: Why Finance Matters! is consider by many to be the industry
standard finance-for-non-financial managers programs and is one of BTS’s most popular online solutions with
approximately 20,000 participants experiencing it annually.
Our web-based business and scenario simulations engage participants in highly
interactive learning which employs the same BTS do-reflect-apply approach used in the classroom. In these
competitive, game-style programs, managers and employees participate as teams or individually in a
self-paced format. As participants and teams set their own pace throughout the simulations, they receive
feedback on their performance and experience the impacts of their decisions on leadership, operational
and financial performance.
