Inside Every Employee
Each event is designed to support you and your team in the Open-Book journey.
When you are ready to implement The Great Game of Business in your organization, getting started will likely prove a challenge. After all, the concept is simple – it’s just not easy. Many companies work with a Great Game Coach, but if your team chooses to self-implement - you don’t have to go it alone.
Open-Book Management wasn’t born in business school and wasn’t theorized by a consulting company. OBM and The Great Game of Business came from the heart of the Midwest in Springfield, MO and over the last 27 years, thousands of companies from around the world have visited to see if opening the books was right for them.
Right now, there is at least one financial or operational number in your company that if improved in the short term would have a dramatic effect on your business. It might be overtime, purchase price variance, sales, shipping expense, number of referrals – or one of many other line items.
The Gathering of Games is the only conference where the Open-Book Community comes together from around the world to learn, share, and celebrate the principles and practices of The Great Game of Business and Open-Book Management. Speakers at the Annual Gathering of Games conference are business leaders practicing Open-Book Management in their own organization.
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.
If the strategy is to create a “Business of Business People” it follows that employees must learn the language of business – the financials. Nothing can duplicate the informal, practical learning that comes with keeping score and huddling around the real numbers day in and day out.
In many companies, if you mention the words 'business literacy' employees immediately get the shakes. Unfortunately, many companies' training programs don't help matters much. The teachers lecture employees in often long, information overloaded classes like the employees are cramming for a CPA exam.
