The experience

Business theory.
Business consequences.

Learners see how one choice affects the resources available elsewhere, then use the evidence to explain what happened and what they would do next.

01

Connected decisions

Allocate capital across departments, manage reserves and respond when a department needs more than its standing budget.

  • Cross-department funding choices
  • Visible financial consequences
  • Auditable decision history
02

Financial insight

Financials and Accounts remain accessible while learners consider active-quarter decisions.

03

Resolved history

Completed years reveal the scenario and impact. Future stages remain undisclosed.

04

Evidence for the debrief

Use the cash journey, decision history and printable results to discuss what changed and why.

05

Progress that stays

Resume the saved attempt through the authorised course activity.

Three modes

Choose the context.
Keep the decisions real.

Each mode uses the same connected business logic with a different teaching emphasis.

01

Business Journey

Manage the whole business.

Plan resources, make departmental choices and follow the consequences through a continuing company journey.

Suggested use Introductory business management
02

Dynamic World

Adapt to change.

Interpret external signals, consider preparedness and adjust decisions as conditions evolve.

Suggested use Business environment and resilience
03

Board Mission

Lead with purpose.

Prioritise resources and justify decisions against a focused business mission.

Suggested use Leadership and applied strategy
L3

Starting with Level 3?

Ventaris is delivered as a hosted simulation and configured for the selected institutional activity.

Download the academic brochure
Which mode should we use first?

Business Journey is the strongest starting point for an introductory Level 3 business management module. Dynamic World and Board Mission can follow as learners gain confidence.

What is stored in the cloud?

Simulation attempts and decisions stay with the hosted service. Music choice and volume remain local to the learner’s browser.

Does it send grades to Moodle?

Ventaris supports an LTI grade passback route for eligible scores. Each institution must complete setup and end-to-end pilot verification.

How long does the licence run?

Each proposed licence covers 12 months and up to three teaching terms within that period.

Are team simulations available now?

Ventaris Teams and CaseLab are planned additions. Their functions and release timing may change before release.
