 The marathon of
confronting multiple business challenges all the
time is wearing down enterprisers. Like
navigating potholes in our streets, we're
addressing only the challenges that are coming at
us. In planning, the driving questions have
changed from 'How long will it
take?' to 'How much time do I
have?'
Last month I
presented the criteria of how to move out of a
marathon and into the controlled environment of a
decathlon. The overwhelming response was a sense
of relief. Several enterprises were smart enough
to engage the Mobilize for Action service
to facilitate their decathlon. That issue of New
Game New Rules is up on http://www.dalebruder.com/
Be
At the Table, Not On the Menu
Your enterprise is
dynamic; going through phases, constantly
challenged by the financial, regulatory,
technological, mechanical, cultural, social and
political push/pull forces that throws every
effort into the global
market.
Every business operates
on an internal clock. Enterprisers waking up to
the alarm to be smart about
it
are taking steps. What time is it for
you?
Ramping up to Wealth
Building by Going Global
Look around and you see
that going local only goes so far. While other
regions have effectively moved out of the doldrums
named 'the great recession' Arizona and Tucson
continues to limp along in self-denial. There's no
future in new construction. Smart real estate
agents are abandoning that career. The region has
a decade's worth of inventory available and the
influx of new populations is a trickle.
Lucky for us there are
smart actions happening. Gangplank and the Start
Up Weekend movement is one example.
Here's an article on Going
Global posted on numerous Linked in discussion
groups. The case is
compelling.
Building Global Business Muscle
Using the Business Strategy Games' Strategy
Simulation
There are four
huge benefits associated with using Dale
Bruder's facilitated competition-based Business
Strategy Game simulation.
1.
Po werful Learning in a
fast paced simulation
2. Arouses positive
energy juiced in competition
3. Reduces time testing
strategies against others
4. Establishes a battle
hardened team
In Dale Bruder's
faciltated BSG your team will be immersed in real
world challenges where they quickly gain
experience in the hardball of competive global
markets.
At the conclusion a
Learning Assurance Report quantifies the
performance of your team vis-a-vis the 35,000+
teams worldwide that have completed the simulation
in the past 12 months.
Call
To Action
The game begins August 1
and continues through to October 28. Five or more
teams compete for global market share in ten
virtual years over 13 weeks. An awards dinner
follows.
Contact Dale
Bruder at 520-331-1956 between July 5th and
10th to discuss participation. Each company
assembles a team of three who to commit a total of
five hours per week (60 total) to the on-line
simulation. The entry fee is $1000.
Each team applies
strategies generated through their knowledge base
and material distributed by the
facilitator.
A second call to
action to the global members of my linkedin
group Chief Strategy Officer to act as mentors and
to field teams has been made.
The
Zen of Knowledge Generating
Vehicles
We stand in the
enduring fire where the will, resources and
energy to reach any horizon can be accessed. The
spark is the powerful Triad of Business Success
conversation. The fuel is your current and
future sequence of the Six Enterprise
Phases.
The zen of it is process
that identifies, filters and designs
a vehicle to drive the action.
Results include new business models, project
plans, product lines or revenue generators.
Through a combination of internal and external
guided disciplines ideas are tracked in scenerios,
on the workbench and in pro forma
speculations. Inquiries are researched, dynamic
formula excel pages developed and strategies
played out. This action is managed as a
decathlon; multiple tasks phased over several
stages. The time comes, when the model proves
itself, to sprint for market
presence.
A Knowledge
Generating Vehicle is a business intelligence
gathering unit that functions to give you and your
enterprise a leveraged advantage.
Everyday new and
invigorated enterprises are competing for your
hard won marketshare. The question you find
yourself asking is Do I give up margins or
marketshare? It's a hard case.
An internal Knowledge
Generating Vehicle gives you the information you
need to confront and challenge those forces. Let
me help you. Dale
