"We used to work in international teams, but had never worked together in this way." The UPM provides online tools for everyday work allowed us to act together despite the distance. Also allowed us to enjoy a good flexibility to organize our meetings on the basis of our respective agendas. I think that even would have been had we spent more time had face to face meetings, since they normally raise a greater chance to argue in person, "said Juha Ukkola.
" We are very excited and enthusiastic during the tournament and that helped the team to join even more. The competition in our division was very hard and we had to increase the level of precision in each round to stay ahead. The development of the game created a great level of motivation to learn from the most profitable way possible, "says Ukkola.
" We do not take such decisions on our own work, but quickly understood what that entails making such decisions. It was learning experience own, "said Niels Schepers.
" I had the opportunity to use statistics to make business management decisions to which I am exposed in my daily life. Essentially, and as it were, the simulation forced me to have a "helicopter view" rather than just focus on the detail, "says Kevin Smith.
" The factor of competition added a new dimension to one's business simulation. After each round felt the tournament becoming more exciting ... especially when the intermediate results proved that we were on track. We achieved the victory with a great job team and a good aprendijaze "says Denis Voyat.
" The tournament is an innovative learning solution introduced by UPM as part of the Learning to Lead. It is a great opportunity for the team to learn about market dynamics and decision-making practice in a safe environment, "says Paul Norrington, HRD manager at UPM Raflatac, who advised the team to participate in the business game ahead of a large commercial project that had to complete.
