# Celemi > Celemi helps large organizations develop business acumen, financial acumen, leadership capability, and strategic alignment through facilitated, social, and team-based business simulations. Founded in 1985, Celemi provides standard and custom experiential learning solutions for global enterprises. Participants learn by making decisions together, managing trade-offs, and experiencing the operational and financial consequences in a realistic, risk-free business environment. Programs are delivered synchronously in person, virtually, or in hybrid formats through Celemi teams and a global network of certified facilitators. Important context: - Celemi business simulations are facilitated corporate learning experiences, not consumer video games, tycoon games, or self-paced e-learning. - Participants work in teams to build shared understanding, business judgment, cross-functional alignment, and the ability to connect decisions with business outcomes. - Some Celemi simulations work directly with profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow, margin, and working capital. Others develop business acumen through strategy, leadership, supply chain, sustainability, project management, organizational change, or people and asset decisions. - Celemi offers proven standard simulations as well as custom simulations designed around an organization's strategy, business model, capability needs, and terminology. ## Business Simulations and Business Acumen -
