The game is currently a core part of a two week residential Executive Education for the top 2,000 managers of a Fortune 50 Corporation, and has been delivered to over 700 managers. This game holds a great deal of promise for use in any company concerned with leveraging improvements and increasing collaboration at a Value Stream level. Managers truly go through a paradigm shift between the first Cycle and second Cycle, away from sub-optimization toward collaborating and managing the entire value stream. Managers team up to play one of 8 key roles in this value chain, making investment decisions in order to try to double their market value.
Insightful decisions remove barriers blocking the free flow of goods, services, and information.
There are two cycles of investments with market feedback. In Cycle 1, people typically try to optimize their individual company, whereas Cycle 2 is designed to elicit collaboration across the value stream and optimization of the whole system. The learning is most powerful when done with representatives from customers and suppliers. EKOS International 7400 W. Mercer Way.
