Effect Management buys the rights to Simbiz

Effect Management Development in Karlstad makes a deal in the multi-million dollar class and buys the rights to Simbiz, a market-leading system in strategic business and leadership simulation.

In the long term, Effect Management Development expects that the acquisition will lead to a doubling of the company's turnover.

- Effect Management Development has developed individuals, organizations and businesses for more than 20 years. We know from experience that experiential learning delivers results. Since Simbiz works according to the same principle, it fits well into our offer to companies and organizations throughout Sweden, says Anne-Charlotte Sverkström at Effect Management Development.

Simbiz was launched in 1984 as a strategic tool to understand the whole of a business and consequences of decisions. With the help of the web-based tool, the participants lead a fictitious business and make decisions that affect development and results. The simulation is tailored based on the organization's operations to be as realistic as possible. Both staff, owners and the customer perspective are involved, and the participants receive quick feedback on how well they are succeeding.

- Simbiz clarifies connections between different functions and areas and contributes to an increased understanding of the business, one's own role and what actually affects the result. Simbiz is therefore an effective tool in larger change processes, whether it is about changing behavior or adding new knowledge. In the long term, it contributes to increased efficiency and better financial results, says Staffan Barrefors at Effect Management Development.

Today, Simbiz is available in English and Swedish and can be easily translated into other languages. It has been used by more than 30,000 people in both companies and public organizations and is well established among colleges and universities. At, among others, the Gothenburg School of Economics, Chalmers and Karlstad universities, you can take higher education credits in business acumen and leadership with the help of Simbiz.

Göteborgs Energi is one of many organizations that used Simbiz.

- We have received an increase in competence in the organization both in terms of business acumen and leadership. The simulation is interspersed with lectures. With Simbiz, it becomes clear and clear how everything is connected in a business, says Lena Lerneklint, personnel director at Göteborgs Energi.

Simbiz's former owner Sven-Inge Hägnemo will during a transition period support Effect Management Development in the continued development of the tool.
