General:
When people see the big picture, they can make better sense of their day-to-day work. Simulations build exercises that help your employees see how everything fits together, either as a part of your corporate training program, or as a stand-alone workplace learning session. We work across various industries, management levels, and business issues. The results have been tremendous for both the individual learners and for the organizations and hit a training “trifecta”- improved teamwork, better leaders and increased financial literacy.

What service is provided?

Martel + Associates specialize in business simulations that are the bridge between classroom learning and real-life challenges. They are a hands-on learning method that imitates the real world, allowing your people to practice and improve their business acumen in a safe, risk-free environment. These sessions can run from 1 – 3 days depending on the solution and tailoring or customization desired.
What is included?
Martel + Associates will work with your organization to tailor sessions that will bring the greatest value. All materials are provided by Martel + Associates. Your cost will include the simulation license fee per participant, the facilitator fee, and any other travel or incidental expenses such as printing or development time.

What to expect:

Business finance is often perceived as complicated and boring. Martel + Associates uses Celemi’s gamified solutions to change this. Millions of participants have learned the basics of business acumen in fun, competitive, team-based simulations.

Pilots, military personnel, and medical professionals all go through simulations before entering the workforce. Why don’t we routinely do the same in business?

Leading corporations use business simulations to improve performance in all aspects of their business, including sales, supply chain management, project management, implementing change, and overall financial acumen. Business simulations can fit four years into just one day, allowing teams to compete each other and see how their actions play out over time.

General:

Martel + Associates can augment any Financial Acumen solution with a 360 degree Business Acumen Certificate program.  Business Acumen is a much wider concept than just developing financial literacy.   Business Acumen is more of a manager or executive development program.  Our programs are not death by power point programs!  Participants will engage in activities designed to challenge their routines and develop skills to evolve into better leaders.  Personalized coaching programs can also be a part of our packages.  The entire certificate program can run in its entirety, or stand-alone programs can also be customized to meet your needs.

What is included?

Martel + Associates will work with your organization to tailor sessions that will bring the greatest value.  All materials are provided by Martel + Associates.  Your cost will include a materials fee per participant, the facilitator fee, and any other travel or incidental expenses such as printing or development time.  The entire Business Acumen Certificate program can be run, or you can choose topics a la carte.  The Certificate program also can be delivered to two different tiers/levels of employees.  First level managers and senior executives are an example of this.

What to expect:

The Certificate program will run 6 – 10 days depending on the level chosen.  The program requires in-class contact hours as well as the expectation of participants to complete activities outside a “classroom”.  Each participant will also complete a Capstone type of project that would be applicable to their organization.  Normally, executive development programs run over a longer period of time- the six to ten days spread over one year.  If there is a particular need for your organization-perhaps team building or leading through change, a one or two day program can be run as a stand alone session.
