Adam-i Asia, the local arm of Adam-i Consulting Japan, is set to launch Sri Lanka’s first-ever business and strategy simulation tool at a workshop to be held later this week.
The one-day workshop will introduce Cesim Global Challenge, a ground-breaking Business and Strategy Simulation tool that has helped thousands of business professionals, corporate trainers, students and professors around the world to put their theoretical knowledge of business operations into practice in a simulated global business environment.
The workshop is expected to benefit a wide cross-section of individuals involved in both management and HR, such as management professionals, business practitioners, HR professionals, lecturers in universities and other higher educational institutes as well as corporate trainers.
The programme will be conducted by Veijo Kyosti, Managing Director of Cesim Oy - Finland, the company that is behind a majority of the intuitive online simulation-based learning in the world. Participants will be given a thorough understanding of the complexity of global business operations in a dynamic, competitive environment together with a comprehension of each of the management-related disciplines, both individually and collectively. They will also learn how to build good sense of interaction between the different parts of the business and the financial implications of the various strategic and operational decisions and how to use business simulation to enhance the skills of existing employees and as a tool to recruit the most talented new employees.
Speaking about the upcoming launch and workshop, Kaushal Wawlagala – President of Adam-i Asia and Director/Vice President of Adam-i Consulting Japan stated, “In recent years, Sri Lanka has seen a huge increase in world-class business education thanks to the many educational institutes that offer top-quality foreign degrees and professional qualifications in Sri Lanka. As a result, business professionals and students are highly-educated when it comes to the business environment at both local and global level. But what they lack is the practical use of this theoretical knowledge in their day-to-day jobs.
“There is a distinct lack of opportunities to use their education in the real world and this hampers their growth especially when it comes to matching up against business professionals from other countries. This is where our business and strategy simulation tool Cesim Global Challenge comes in. It will provide users an understanding of how to make business decisions, taking into account all the complex variables present in today’s business world, but in a simulated environment.”
He added that Cesim Global Challenge is the perfect tool for all business professionals and students as well as corporate trainers. “Human Resource Departments can use the tool to gauge the knowledge and skill level of existing employees. They can also use it when hiring new employees by using it to test which candidate has the skills to properly apply their knowledge in order to get the best possible results in the simulated environment,” he further added.
Adam-i Asia (Pvt) Limited is the local subsidiary of Adam-i Consulting Japan and Authorized Distributor of Cesim in Sri Lanka. Adam-i offers various consulting and training services for companies in emerging countries, South and South East Asia.
