BRINGING THE GREAT GAME TO ST. LOUIS Meet Great Game coach Bill Collier. Bill was born and raised in St. Louis. In 1988, Bill and his wife, Joyce, founded BC Group International, a regional distributor of biomedical testing equipment. In 1994 they implemented open-book management, and results were excellent. BC Group grew profitably for a decade, improving its gross margin, cash flow, quality, turnover, and customer satisfaction. The company was named to St. Louis Technology’s Fast 50, a listing of the 50 fastest-growing tech firms in St. Louis, for the years 2000, 2001, and 2003. Today Bill is a coach with The Great Game of Business, helping companies implement open-book management and achieve financial success. |

ONLINE EMPLOYEE APPRAISAL SURVEY
Having your employees take our confidential online Employee Appraisal Survey allows you to assess your organization’s key business concerns and the critical issues facing your staff. This survey is great to administer when you begin to play The Game, but it is also beneficial to use as a benchmarking tool to help you improve your game. You can quickly evaluate how well you are playing The Game and help develop your own critical number. The Employee Appraisal Survey is 28 multiple-choice questions and six open-ended questions that allow you to determine employee attitudes/beliefs regarding the company’s performance. Who knows more about the job than the person doing it? Call The Great Game at 800-386-2752 to set up your Appraisal Survey.
CRITICAL NUMBER WORKSHOP
As a starting point for The Game, it is important to identify your organization's critical number -- the number that will have the greatest impact on the organization's success. Our coaches will tailor a one-day workshop to assist you in identifying your critical number. Along the way, we will discuss the financial and non-financial indicators that will drive that number.
MINI-GAME COACHING
Mini-games are a critical component of The Great Game motivation strategy. They help keep interest and involvement high throughout the year by giving players many opportunities to win and to celebrate. Our coaches will support you and your team through the process of designing and playing a successful mini-game. From choosing the target to celebrating the win, we'll be there every step of the way. Learning to design and play effective mini-games targeting day-to-day improvements will add up to year-long success.
