BUSINESS GAME
ROCE Business Game
See how supply chain decisions affect ROCE, business performance, and cross-functional outcomes.
Supply chain disruptions do not only affect service levels or operations. They also affect working capital, profitability, and return on capital employed. Yet many teams still respond from within silos, without a clear view of the wider tradeoffs across supply chain, operations, and finance.
The ROCE Business Game is designed to make those tradeoffs visible. Through structured scenarios, it shows how common supply chain events and disruptions affect ROCE, why siloed responses weaken performance, and how stronger AI-supported decision-making can improve outcomes under the same conditions.
What the Business Game Solves
Built for teams and programs that want to connect supply chain decision-making to financial and business outcomes.
-
Limited understanding of how supply chain events affect ROCE, profitability, and working capital
-
Training environments that separate operations from finance impact
-
Siloed decision habits that hide tradeoffs across functions
-
Limited exposure to practical AI-supported operational decision-making
-
Few learning formats that bring supply chain, operations, and finance into the same conversation
What the Business Game Improves
The game is designed to improve how participants understand, discuss, and evaluate supply chain decisions.
Financial visibility
Participants see more clearly how operational decisions affect ROCE, working capital, and broader business performance.
Decision quality
Teams compare traditional responses with stronger AI-supported options and see how different choices produce different outcomes.
Cross-functional understanding
Participants connect supply chain actions to the wider implications for operations, finance, and organizational performance.
AI readiness
The game helps participants understand where AI-supported decision-making can improve operational judgment in a practical business setting.

How the Business Game Works
Participants move through a structured sequence that links supply chain events to business consequences.
Face the scenario
Participants respond to typical supply chain events, tradeoffs, or disruptions.
Compare decision paths
They see how siloed or traditional responses affect ROCE and broader business performance.
Evaluate AI-supported options
They assess how stronger AI-supported decision-making can improve operational and financial outcomes under the same conditions.
Debrief the implications
Participants connect the results back to supply chain, finance, organizational alignment, and decision quality.
Who the Business Game Is For
Designed for learning environments and leadership teams that want a more applied view of supply chain decision-making.
Universities and colleges
Programs looking for practical, applied ways to teach AI for supply chain management, business tradeoffs, and decision-making.
Faculty and program leaders
Educators who want stronger teaching tools that connect supply chain concepts to business performance and finance impact.
Corporate learning teams
Organizations building internal capability in supply chain, decision support, and cross-functional business understanding.
Executive workshops
Leadership groups that want a practical, scenario-based format for discussing operational and financial tradeoffs.
Cross-functional supply chain and finance teams
Teams that need a shared learning environment to improve decision clarity, alignment, and business understanding.
Why This Business Game Matters
Most supply chain learning still treats operational decisions and financial outcomes as separate conversations.
This business game is built to close that gap. It helps participants see how supply chain events, response choices, and decision quality affect ROCE and business performance. It also creates a more practical way to discuss where AI-supported decision-making can improve outcomes without reducing the conversation to technology alone.
The result is a learning experience that is more applied, more cross-functional, and more connected to operating reality.
