Let us share the example of Bose

Zensimu client - BoseZensimu client - Bose

Bose successfully trained +80 employees from 5 regions to tackle supply chain challenges during its sales seminar.

About Bose:

Bose Corporation is an American company specializing in designing, manufacturing, and selling audio equipment, renowned for its innovative audio technology.

Challenge

Amidst the COVID-19 crisis, Bose faced significant material shortages, leading to missed revenues. Tom de Grotte, Global Head Of Commercial Supply Chain, wants his sales teams to better understand how these shortages occur and learn strategies to minimize or avoid them altogether.

Seeking a Modern Solution

In order to captivate all his global sales teams in one go, Tom sought a more engaging alternative to traditional PowerPoint presentations and decided to organize a large-scale online Beer Game during a sales seminar.

However, they required a Beer Game simulation that met their specific needs:

  • Worldwide accessibility for over 80 participants

  • An immersive experience and chat feature to engage all sales

  • Ease of sharing and debriefing results

  • Rapid deployment

  • Customization options, including displaying lost or gained revenues in Bose's brand colors

  • The ability to compare team performances and identify a winner

After researching, they selected the Zensimu Beer Game solution, which fulfilled all their criteria thanks to its immersive gameplay, customization capabilities, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive reporting features.

Playing the Zensimu's Beer Game made our seminar an unforgettable experience. It was so easy to organize, and we believe it had a very positive impact on all the teams worldwide.
