 Board Games for different industries

SERVICE

COMPANIES

The high wage costs for employees in the UK, the required flexibility in order processing and the costs of training employees lead to enormous sales pressure in the service sector. For many service companies and industries (e.g. banks), these questions go to the core.
 
Digitisation and innovation can be the key to escaping a saturated market’s limited growth and operating successfully with sideways movement.


YOUR EXPECTATIONS:

Our seminars show what alternative courses of action there are and how management deals with them.

TRADE



In the UK´s saturated markets, trading companies are under massive pressure from sales and costs due to strong competition from one another. In addition to customer frequency, one of the success factors in retail is the shopping experience. The trading company aims to increase the frequency of customers and to maintain high-quality standards. Innovative solutions show the development of a wide variety of sales forms aimed at personalised customer orientation.
 


YOUR EXPECTATIONS:
With our seminars you can influence critical success factors and test your customer loyalty in comparison to the competition.

MANUFACTURING

COMPANIES

The high depreciation of the capital-intensive machines almost forces mass production, which quickly leads to overcapacities in UK saturated markets. Coupled with the decreasing depth of added value of European production companies and increasing competitive pressure from cheap imports from the Far East, production companies are putting enormous pressure on costs. Digitisation leads to ever shorter innovation cycles that are in disharmony with the depreciation periods for investments.

Opinions about our courses

“I’m still wondering today how you enabled me to learn about business with your technique and style. 
You quickly and fundamentally changed my relationship with operational key performance indicators. Until now, it was previously characterised by fear of contact. I would never have thought that a balanced balance sheet could make me so happy and that I could deal with this matter in such a relaxed way ;-). Thank you very much for that!“...
"Experiencing 5th Mind is like opening a book that you expect to contain only small print and then realising page by page that it contains a lot of pictures!"
"The concept of 5th Mind manages to convey the topic in a catchy and exciting way, even for absolute non-merchants. The participants play and have fun. The content stays in your head by itself."

Brigitte Eichhammer, Head of HR
Pfleiderer Neumarkt GmbH
“5th Mind seminars cannot be described in words. Try it and be amazed at how interesting this apparently boring content can be… just do it. “
