January 10, 2006 Aurora, ON. HR.com, (www.hr.com) the largest research and Web destination for human resources (HR) executives, today published an article that announced that Solutions House, of Tampa, Florida, is among the recipients of HR Executive´s prestigious distinction. Their product is a unique, business simulation called Full Throttle(R).
The article quotes the magazine as saying, "While Full Throttle employs discovery-learning techniques similar to other business-acumen games by competing vendors, it takes employee engagement a step further than those predecessors."
Donna Burnette, the CEO of Solutions Houses, calls it "a serious business game," and says, "Learners will experience why finance is ´the language of business. Most business acumen stimulations rely on industrial age business paradigms where value is measured solely through a company´s past financial results. Full Throttle starts there, but adds a peripheral dimension to look at the economic interdependency of all the stakeholders in a supply change. Then it takes a crucial additional step, and explores a company´s leading indicators for generating future shareholder value (as would any sharp Wall Street analyst)."
