THU, MAY 17, 2007
Thursday, May 17th, 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI
Description
Has your organization ever been surprised by your competition? Have you ever been asked to be the competitor at the table when your company has been considering certain strategic or tactical moves? Do you believe in the power of gaming your various options before going into battle with your competition, always reminding yourself that in business, there are no do-overs?
If so, join Wisconsin’s SCIP chapter on Thursday, May 17th for a highly interactive, team-oriented Business War gaming workshop held at the friendly confines of Green Bay’s Lambeau Field. Our workshop leader, Tim Smith from Kappa West, will:
- Introduce the general concepts and processes of Business War Gaming
- Discuss how War Gaming can help broad ranges of companies increase their strategic effectiveness and tactical efficiency using these military concepts, principles and planning processes.
- Provide background on a real world scenario
- Facilitate a short war gaming session where we test each team’s critical decisions
Key Takeaways from this session include :
- An understanding of what it takes to design, develop and facilitate a business war game.
- An introduction to a process that allows you to proactively anticipate changes in your competitor’s behavior (both direct and indirect) under select market scenarios.
- An opportunity to apply several strategic planning tools that can be used outside of the business war gaming environment.
- The chance to see how a business war game builds consensus and commitment to the plans that come out of the exercise.
