Clarity creates confidence—and confidence creates opportunity. The key question is… ### **Are you and your team ready to seize the opportunity?** ## **PRIVATE WORKSHOPS AVAILABLE** [![Email Us To Book A Private Event](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2628288/025bd78f-5151-4c6f-b278-0bf3282eeffa.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2628288/025bd78f-5151-4c6f-b278-0bf3282eeffa)   ![HIP Web Graphic 2](https://www.greatgame.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HIP%20Web%20Graphic%202.png?width=600&height=600&name=HIP%20Web%20Graphic%202.png)   ![HIP Overview Agenda](https://www.greatgame.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HIP%20Overview%20Agenda.png?width=900&height=1164&name=HIP%20Overview%20Agenda.png)[![View the Detailed Agenda!](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2628288/3a108a24-cd0a-4fe2-bba1-49df27ea8381.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2628288/3a108a24-cd0a-4fe2-bba1-49df27ea8381) ## How Our Planning Process Is Different ![](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/Templates-2021/Yellow_Underline_Med.svg) All Great Game™ leaders have one thing in common. **They don't carry the burden alone.** So why should you? We understand that your time as a CEO is valuable and limited. That’s why our approach to planning stands apart. Instead of crafting a plan at the executive level and handing it down to employees who may not believe in it—or worse, feel disconnected from it—we involve everyone in the process from the start. This ensures your plan isn’t just a document; it’s a strategy backed by alignment, ownership, and commitment at all levels of your organization. ## **Here's How it Works:** - *We look at the economy, your industry, **and your competition. * - *We bring the marketplace to yo**ur people so they can help make the tough decisions.* - *We evaluate where the company's main focus should be. *** - *We'll create backup contingencies so when life throws you a curveball your team is ready.* - *The entire organization votes on and signs off on the company's finalized plan.* - *We make sure everyone in the company knows how they fit into the plan and are ready to execute.* ![HIP Web Graphic 3](https://www.greatgame.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HIP%20Web%20Graphic%203.png?width=500&height=500&name=HIP%20Web%20Graphic%203.png)   ## What You Get ![](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/Templates-2021/Path%2082.png) **The High-Involvement Planning Workshop** is designed to help you take your business to the next level. Over the course of two and half days in Springfield, MO—the home of SRC and the birthplace of The Great Game of Business—you’ll gain the tools and strategies you need to: ![HIP Web Graphic 4](https://www.greatgame.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HIP%20Web%20Graphic%204.png?width=317&height=317&name=HIP%20Web%20Graphic%204.png) **Structure a Realistic Plan and ****Create a Sustainable Planning Rhythm** ![HIP Web Graphic 5](https://www.greatgame.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HIP%20Web%20Graphic%205.png?width=317&height=317&name=HIP%20Web%20Graphic%205.png) **Engage Your Team in the Process** ![HIP Web Graphic 6](https://www.greatgame.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HIP%20Web%20Graphic%206.png?width=317&height=317&name=HIP%20Web%20Graphic%206.png) **Pinpoint Growth Opportunities** ![HIP Web Graphic 7](https://www.greatgame.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HIP%20Web%20Graphic%207.png?width=317&height=317&name=HIP%20Web%20Graphic%207.png) **Clarify your Strategic Edge** ## Why Bring Your Team? ![](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/Templates-2021/Yellow_Underline_Large_1.svg) This workshop isn’t just for you—it’s for your leadership team, too. To encourage team participation, we offer tailored pricing options for groups. Bringing multiple team members enhances the impact of the workshop, helping you: - - - - Build a shared understanding of your strategy and goals. - Align on clear priorities and next steps. - Develop a stronger, more actionable plan together. ## Pricing ![](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/Templates-2021/Path%2082.png) ![GGX Pricing - Email Graphic-4](https://www.greatgame.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GGX%20Pricing%20-%20Email%20Graphic-4.png?width=1200&height=700&name=GGX%20Pricing%20-%20Email%20Graphic-4.png)   ## ![GGOB Book-1](https://www.greatgame.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GGOB%20Book-1.png?width=312&height=312&name=GGOB%20Book-1.png) *But just as important as the plan itself is the way you **produce it. You need more than a plan that is firmly **rooted in reality. You also need one that people not only **accept but agree to— without reservation. All the players **must be ready to make the plan work. They have to want **it to work. They must be willing to do whatever it takes to **win. They must know they can count on everybody else **to do the same, and that everybody else is counting on **them. **You can only get that sort of consensus by opening up **the planning process and bringing the entire workforce in. * Jack Stack with Bo Burlingham, *The Great Game of Business*   ## **Want to go deeper?** If you want more help producing a strong business plan, we also offer private workshops at your location.  Holding a private event allows a certified coach to take a deep dive look into your business and give you and your team the one-on-one attention you need. We work with you to create a customized plan that fits the unique needs and goals of **your** business. ## **Why should you book a private event for business planning?** Booking a private event allows us to come to you, eliminating the need to travel. With our guidance, you will be able to set clear objectives, identify potential obstacles and opportunities, and develop strategies for achieving your goals. You'll also learn how to measure progress, make adjustments and stay on track.

If people don't participate in the planning process, they don't buy in. If they don't buy in, they don't commit. If they don't commit, they don't deliver. Involving the team in the early stages of planning **shifts the mindset from "that's your plan," to "this is our plan."** **[![Email Us To Book A Private Event](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2628288/025bd78f-5151-4c6f-b278-0bf3282eeffa.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2628288/025bd78f-5151-4c6f-b278-0bf3282eeffa)** ![HIP - Ownership in the plan](https://www.greatgame.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HIP%20-%20Ownership%20in%20the%20plan.png?width=900&height=900&name=HIP%20-%20Ownership%20in%20the%20plan.png)   ## Our 10-Step Framework ![](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/Templates-2021/Path%2082.png) ![step 1-01-1](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201-01-1.png) 1 SHARE YOUR WINNING ASPIRATIONS ![step 1-01-1](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201-01-1.png) 2 REVIEW YOUR STRATEGY FOR GROWTH ![step 1-01-1](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201-01-1.png) 3 KNOW YOUR MARKETPLACE ![step 1-01-1](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201-01-1.png) 4 IDENTIFY YOUR GROWTH AND CONTINGENCY PLAYS ![step 1-01-1](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201-01-1.png) 5 ESTABLISH YOUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES ![step 1-01-1](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201-01-1.png) 6 BUILD YOUR SALES & MARKETING PLAN ![step 1-01-1](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201-01-1.png) 7 ENSURE CONFIDENCE IN THE PLAN ![step 1-01-1](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201-01-1.png) 8 BUILD YOUR FINANCIAL PLAN ![step 1-01-1](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201-01-1.png) 9 BUILD YOUR PEOPLE PLAN ![step 1-01-1](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201-01-1.png) 10 BUILD YOUR GAME PLAN ![step 1 Horz](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201%20Horz.png) 1 SHARE YOUR WINNING ASPIRATIONS ![step 1 Horz](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201%20Horz.png) 2 REVIEW YOUR STRATEGY FOR GROWTH ![step 1 Horz](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201%20Horz.png) 3 KNOW YOUR MARKETPLACE ![step 1 Horz](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201%20Horz.png) 4 IDENTIFY YOUR GROWTH AND CONTINGENCY PLAYS ![step 1 Horz](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201%20Horz.png) 5 ESTABLISH YOUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES ![step 1 Horz](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201%20Horz.png) 6 BUILD YOUR SALES & MARKETING PLAN ![step 1 Horz](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201%20Horz.png) 7 ENSURE CONFIDENCE IN THE PLAN ![step 1 Horz](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201%20Horz.png) 8 BUILD YOUR FINANCIAL PLAN ![step 1 Horz](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201%20Horz.png) 9 BUILD YOUR PEOPLE PLAN ![step 1 Horz](https://www.greatgame.com/hubfs/step%201%20Horz.png) 10 BUILD YOUR GAME PLAN ![HIP - Workbook](https://www.greatgame.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HIP%20-%20Workbook.png?width=800&height=400&name=HIP%20-%20Workbook.png) Walkthrough the 10-steps of implementation in a simple-to-follow way. ![HIP - Templates and Worksheets](https://www.greatgame.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HIP%20-%20Templates%20and%20Worksheets.png?width=800&height=400&name=HIP%20-%20Templates%20and%20Worksheets.png) Use our templates to help create short-term and long-term strategies for company growth.
