"We participated with 3 teams in the BGF business game from different locations and nationalities. The main benefit for our team was to increase the team spirit inside our company. The competition against close colleagues inside the organization was an extra source of motivation. Now our team has a better overall overview of the different aspects of a company. We recommend creating a multidisciplinary team in order to improve knowledge sharing. Good experience!"

Telecom/ IT Testimonials

"As a team we gained an increased understanding of the complexity of running a complete company. The importance of an overall perspective became increasingly clear as we worked as a management team running the case company. We found that understanding the sum of all activities made the total, and that everything can be ruined by mismanagement of one functional area. What we will take with us from this business game is an increased understanding of pricing, resource management and the importance of team work."

"Taking part in the Business Game gave our marketing and sales team a new perspective on the financial aspects of a business. Seeing 'immediate' effects of strategy implementation was a great leaning tool.
Every member of our team found the experience valuable and would gladly repeat it. In a corporate world where time is precious this is a great endorsement!"

Financial Institutions Testimonials

“BTS Business Tournament Program is a rather unique business simulation designed to help middle managers formulate their skills in all aspects of company management, get to know each other better and learn a few different ways of looking at business development. We at CSAM Luxembourg put in a team after being invited to compete by Nordea Luxembourg and it was extremely interesting, the main thing being to compete against other financial firms and create contact into their organisations - I can recommend it.”

Construction Industry Testimonials

Our company took part in this business simulation for the first time, and the experience was very positive. The training itself was of high quality, customer service was superb, and the members of our team were fully satisfied. They said that this helped them more clearly understand the big picture of business, and also how different parts and aspects of business relate to each other. Furthermore, working effectively as a team, managing time and using phone conferences as a decision-making aid were all areas of considerable improvement. Being prepared and having discussions at different phases of the decision-making process were prerequisites for getting the most out of the training, and also for success in the tournament. This is an excellent tournament, and we can recommend participation to others as well!

Chemical Industry Testimonials

“The BTS Tournament offers the unique opportunity to learn as a team in a very pleasant way, how to get to a common understanding of what the key issues are that need to be tackled within a business environment. It provides the possibility to understand what the interdependencies are within a company given any decision that is taken during the tournament. It therefore helps the team-members to work effectively and efficiently together as well as it increases the knowledge of how a company or a business works or operates.
In addition to the increase in the behavioural skills and the knowledge-gain in the technical area, it also provides a lot of fun and it can create a lot of passion. I have seen it in my team when we were participating: It can get addictive!”
