Based on Jack Stack’s best-selling book, The Great Game of Business is a unique and well-proven methodology and approach to running a company. In its simplest form, it gets everyone focused on the company’s success. Employee goals and accountabilities are tied directly to the success of the business.

About The Great Game of Business

Our approach to running a company was developed to help close one of the biggest gaps in business: the gap between managers and employees. We call our open-book approach The Great Game of Business. What lies at the heart of The Game is a very simple proposition: The best, most efficient, most profitable way to operate a business is to give everybody in the company a voice in saying how the company is run and a stake in the outcome. Let us teach you how to develop a culture of ownership, where employees think, act and feel like owners.
