In addition it is possible to operate a 5th role in a team who cannot take any direct decisions but can act as a Strategy Manager or Managing Director. Contact us for more details on this.
► Valuable Insight
The four roles in the Fresh Connection offer a multitude of flexible learning opportunities. An attractive option is to gain a detailed insight into business areas other than those occupied in real life. For example, a “real world” sales representative has the opportunity to play a different “virtual” role
► Enhance Relationships
The roles also present a unique opportunity to enter a collaborative team. Retailers and suppliers can enter a combined team to learn about each other through the experience, develop partnerships, and improve the understanding of each other’s businesses.
These partnerships can then be transferred into your business environment to establish competitive advantages through the relationship.
