Turn your teams into a financially savvy workforce

Bigger Bucks is a hands-on simulation designed to build real-world business acumen in managers and front line workers alike. Through a three-year simulated journey running a fictional company, players learn the fundamentals of finance, the power of decision-making, and how every decision and action they take connects to the bottom line.

Whether you run the program yourself or bring in an experienced facilitator, Bigger Bucks delivers an energizing, reflective, and practical experience that participants remember...and can easily apply.

Training Tracker

Bigger Bucks will soon be launching its innovative Training Tracker, a true ROI application designed to measure the personal, cultural, and financial benefits of training across any organisation. The Training Tracker is based on the very popular SpeakUp Tracker and unlike simple attendance or completion reports, the Training Tracker systematically monitors, over time, the ongoing behaviour changes, shifts in workplace culture, and improvements in business performance as a consequence of the training program.

Word cloud in the shape of a light bulb with words like ideas, thinking, innovation, business, plan, and success.

The Ideation Game

Also coming soon, Bigger Bucks is set to launch the Ideation Game…a dynamic idea capture tool designed to help organisations systematically collect, organise and evaluate business improvement ideas from all staff. This innovative platform ensures no idea is ever lost, giving employees a single, accessible space to share their improvement ideas. By integrating the Ideation Game alongside Bigger Bucks training, organisations can expect to achieve a significant return on investment, maximising the benefits of their Bigger Bucks training programs.
