The following is a list of general activities instructors can do after simulating a round to help guide students using data-driven insights.

Review Key KPI Performance

Path: Results & Analysis → Performance

• This section shows the same data students see in their Podium view.

• Review team financials — they can be downloaded as an Excel file.

• Look for top performers, trends, anomalies, or KPIs beyond the main performance set.

Optional: AI-Assisted Analysis

If you’d like support identifying trends within your groups, you can use your preferred GenAI tool (ChatGPT, Gemini, or CoPilot).

Steps:

1. Download the Income Statements for all teams.

2. Use this prompt with your AI tool, attaching the report:

Attached are the income statements of the teams from a recent Praxar simulation. Please analyze the results with a focus on teaching value. Specifically, identify:

• Revenue Trends – Which revenue streams (golf, restaurant, pro shop) drive differences between teams?

• Profitability Patterns – Where do gross profit margins, operating income, and net income diverge across teams?

• Cost Management Insights – Identify cases where high revenues did not lead to strong profits, and explain why.

• Winning vs. Struggling Strategies – Point out examples of teams that balanced revenue and costs effectively versus those that overspent.

• Teaching Takeaways – Summarize 3–5 key lessons professors can use to guide classroom discussion on financial management and strategic choices in the simulation.

As always, review the AI-generated insights for accuracy before sharing them with your students, and ensure the insights are also relatable to the simulation content.

Review the Annual Analysis of Industry

Path: Analysis & Conclusion → Annual Analysis of Industry

• This can be presented like a PowerPoint for in-class discussion.
