Business Finance competency helps you thrive in digitalization and transformation.
Market dynamics are driving an increasingly higher pace of change in organizations and companies across industries. For you, and your organisation to thrive in this environment, and deliver the revenue growth and profit, everyone in the organisation need to be self-driven. Everyone needs to be able to take initiatives, make decisions, collaborate efficiently and contribute to the strategy of the company.
For this to be possible, everyone needs a fundamental understanding of how value is created for the company, and how operational decisions and actions impact value creation. This is business finance!
Gaining new perspectives on how you create value in the organisation.
During this seminar you will gain new perspectives and deeper understanding of how to create value for your organisation through your job. You will understand key financial concepts and vocabulary, and the financial impact of operational decisions and actions. After the seminar, you will feel more comfortable engaging in conversations about finance with any stakeholder and understand financial communication better.
Who is this valuable for?
This training is designed for all professionals at any level of the company, and in any function of the organisation. There is no pre-requisite knowledge required for the seminar. The training is focused on a manufacturing business model, but the underlying knowledge is relevant (and easily transferrable) to any other business models.

Board based business simulations and the power of learning
This is a seminar where you are in control of your learning. We will not put you in a student bench and teach you through lengthy presentations and speeches. We put you around a table in a small group of 3-4 participants and you will be able to learn, explore, discuss and have fun throughout the day. This is what the business simulation Apples & Oranges™ is all about.
You, the participants, take charge of a company and you run the business for 3-4 years. You will be responsible for the results and you will try different ways to improving performance of the company each year.
As you go through the business simulation, you will discover and work on financial concepts, and do hands-on reporting, analysis and explanation of the financial and business results. The entire day is highly interactive, and you are learning by doing. In the end of the business simulation, we will connect back the learnings and theories to your reality, and how the learnings apply to your work.
The Celemi Apples & Oranges board based (physical) business simulation, that will guide you through the day. You will also get a handbook that has the key concepts, and tools for the reporting and analysis, that you take home with you. We will also use an online tool for profit simulation, and self-assessment.

The Power of Learning (About Celemi)
The Hybrid Experience is a Certified Solutions Partner of Celemi. Celemi creates some of the best business simulation in the world, and their philosophy is built on Klas Mellander’s (founder of Celemi) belief that the best way to absorb knowledge that lasts is for learners to take responsibility for their own learning. Learners should think, explore and discover for themselves. They should make mistakes and learn from them. The Learning Spiral is how we unlock The Power of Learning by recreating a spontaneous learning process:
- Motivation – we motivate by triggering curiosity and enthusiasm.
- Information – we provide only the necessary information.
- Process – we use dialogue, play and reflection to let learners process the new information.
- Aha! moment – when everyone reaches individual ‘aha’ moments of understanding and insight.
- Action – we help everyone turn their insights into actions for their daily work.

The Hybrid Experience Approach
My Name is Victor Svensson, I am the founder of The Hybrid Experience, and I will be facilitating this seminar.
In our seminars, we do not apply strict boundaries and we do not shy away from difficult questions. We do not stick to the text book (or the rule book for that matter). We go where you want to go. Do you have a pressing business issue that you want and need to discuss? Bring it on. Are there sensitive or even taboo topics that makes you uncomfortable? We have the competency to address it in the right way.
