Are you winning the Business War Game?

In today's competitive environment, many CEOs are feeling the impact of daily war gaming. How do you anticipate competitive moves and market shifts? Are the members of your executive team aligned on how your organization will respond?

We are incorporating two bodies of great work in this space in our accelerated decision offers: Business War Games by Benjamin Gilad, PhD, and Scenario Planning by Mats Lindgren and Has Banhold.

According to Gilad, "war games help discover problematic intelligence gaps, create buy-in, define strengths and weaknesses", and prepare you to formulate a better strategy, with a strong business case, and people alignment.

"Predicting competitors' moves is similar to predicting hurricanes", said Gilad. What is your methodology for preparing for a competitive hurricane?

Today, the link between future options and your strategy has to be organic. We are interested in hearing from you on what works in your organization.
