The Great Game of Business:

Introduction

If you are actively practicing The Great Game of Business, you know people support what they help create. But did you know there is a critical semi-annual process behind getting buy-in, developing your sales & marketing plan, determining your Critical Number™, creating contingencies and planning for the future?

For 27 years, High-Involvement Planning (HIP) has been key to SRC’s success and many longtime practitioners in the Great Game Community feel like High-Involvement Planning is the linchpin missing in sustaining their Game.

Over two engaging days in Springfield, MO you’ll learn to:

• Create a planning process that consistently involves, informs & educates the entire organization on the realities of the marketplace
• Define your Critical Numbers and build your plan to rally around those numbers
• Develop a Plan B–a crucial practice for on-going growth & success
• Bring your financial plans to life with the power of “Forward Forecasting”
• Build buy-in and commitment to the plan
• Link your strategy to day-to-day actions
• Conduct Plan Reviews that encourage participation & challenge assumptions
• Get everyone involved in creating a zero-based, bottom up financial plan

Other highlights include:

• Open Q & A time with Jack Stack to get his perspective on the economy and the future
• Special keynote by Tom Samsel, one of 13 original owners of SRC and former Director of Sales & Marketing
• Examples & planning tools to identify & define your Critical Numbers
• Team exercises created to improve your planning & “Forward Forecasting” skills
• Lessons from the field: Case Studies from practicing companies
• Roundtable discussion opportunities designed to focus on your specific planning and execution challenges
