MARGA
Our Board game seminar conveys basic managerial accounting in a playful and hands-on manner.
Divided into teams, the participants are challenged to actively lead their own organization. In doing so, they literally see (and hear) how their money increases or diminishes on the board, induced through their own corporate decisions. We offer the seminar as open program on fixed dates and as inhouse solution.
Next date:

Target group
The Board Game Seminar ‘Financial Basics’ does not require any prior business knowledge. The seminar conveys the basics of the topic ‘finance and controlling’. Based on easily comprehensible business processes, the internal and external accounting system is gradually illustrated.
During the Board Game Seminar ‘Financial Basics’ the participants experience,
- …how operative and strategic decisions influence their business and how they are reproduced in the cost accounting,
- …why this information is helpful in order to make target oriented corporate decisions and
- …which influence and impact their own decisions have on the company as a whole.
This is how the board game works
In one and a half intensive seminar days, several consecutive business periods are developed. Each period ends with detailed feedback and an analysis by the seminar leader.
Year 1: Start your Business
Get to know operational processes and map them in accounting. Prepare the annual financial statements themselves using their own figures.
Year 2: Run your Business
Planning and utilizing capacities, manufacturing, calculating and selling products, managing liquidity and debt.
Year 3: Grow your Business
Establish marketing and sales, calculate special prices and discounts, adjust capacities and financing.
Year 4: Perform your Business
Measure and optimize the performance of your own company.
During the individual business periods the participants get involved in detail with the figures of their company. Based on the corporate processes they illustrate the thereby resulting monetary flow by moving coins on the board. The result is an entire annual financial statement which they generate all by themselves. This then is the basis for important business analysis and key figures which the teams work on together in detail.
Cash flow, inventory, profit and the rate of return are core issues within the cockpit of an organization. They ensure financial transparency, which in the first place makes complex organizations controllable. Like this, success and failure turn both visible and measurable. A highly skilled trainer conducts the teams through the entire seminar and above all gives them professional input.
What our customers say
The MARGA board game was used as part of our first-time onboarding program for our new commercial trainees. The seminar conveyed the functionality of a company and especially the fundamentals of accounting in a comprehensive and practical manner and thus made an important contribution to the new training program of our management trainees. The feedback from the participants concerning the onboarding program as well as the market-leading business simulation MARGA was thoroughly positive.
