Strategic excellence, management board dynamics, team work skills, financial understanding, analyzing skills and fact based decision making were the learning objectives of The Kekkilä Management Development Seminar organized by BGF.
The Seminar was targeted for the 20 key people in Kekkilä management. The participants came from Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Denmank and Spain.
The five participating teams were formed from the actual real-life management teams. The practice round was played and facilitated remotely before the seminar. This was the way to ensure that participants were well prepared for the actual seminar.
The seminar started with a kick-off including the analysis of the practice round. In the first day there were two game rounds with two hours interval. Between the rounds Ilkka Koskinen (People Focus) was running a know-how session about the management team work; pitfalls, tips for high-performance teamwork, decision making in teams, etc. Vesa Kurikka (BGF) was debriefing the game results round after round.
In the second day the decision making time was cut down to 1,5 hours in order to make the team work even more challenging and to increase the pressure.
By the end of the seminar Vesa and Ilkka held a wrap up session going through the lessons learnt and how to transfer the learning into the daily real life challenges. Also each participant made a personal action plan which was reported to Petri Alava CEO of Kekkilä. Last but not least the final result of the Business Game was released. The Champions got a cool looking trophy, a bottle of champagne and place in the semifinals!!
