Strategic Finance™ Simulation - For Insurance Professionals

A high-energy business simulation exercise to build your team's financial acumen.

Have you ‘walked a mile’ in your clients’ shoes?

Does your team of insurance professionals need to more deeply understand the financial and strategic challenges that your insurance clients face on a daily basis?

Over a period of several days, this engaging finance and management exercise immerses your team in a complex business case study in which they run a simulated company in competition with other teams.

Key financial learnings will be driven by a computerized business simulation, content lectures, and group discussions.

The Strategic Finance course can be run as a live or virtual class over 2-4 days.

“We used the PriSim® Insurance ChallengeTM simulation as the basis to get our folks motivated to take a more strategic approach to our business and to their local marketplace… and it works!!! Our folks came away feeling more empowered and with a better appreciation of strategic actions they can put in place to really make a difference. As for the insurance simulation, PriSim® has been able to build a simulation which is easy to operate, yet confronts participants with challenges faced by today’s managers — unending market complexity, massive amounts of business information, and urgent decision time-frames.”
