Companies compete for human capital and clients in a changing marketplace.

Tango from Celemi, is a two-day, board-based business simulation that dramatizes the unique issues of a knowledge-based organization by challenging participants to manage tangible and intangible assets to maximize profits and contribute to long term growth.

Teams of 4 are each assigned the task of managing a knowledge-based company in a competitive and growing market over a 7 year period. Participants encounter real world challenges. They will need to develop a business strategy, compete for clients and employees, staff projects, manage personalities, maximize utilization, grow and retain employees, invest in R&D, manage careers, deal with project snafus, and control cash.

As a result of the simulation, sales professionals will develop and learn the key business issues required to succeed in a knowledge based organization, including:

• Attract the "right" clients and earning their loyalty
• Attract and keeping the "right" employees
• Turn people-owned competence into company-owned tools and processes
• Build a solid corporate culture
• Reduce operating costs
• Maximize cash flow and profits
• Increase market valuation-- the value of tangible and intangible assets
