Jack Stack and SRC pioneered The Great Game of Business right here in Missouri. Born in a struggling manufacturing plant in 1983, The Great Game of Business was born out of necessity—a bold solution to a looming crisis. Jack Stack and his team faced the challenge of saving their plant from closure.

Instead of relying on traditional methods, they broke the mold and created something revolutionary: a system built on transparency, shared goals, and employee ownership.

This innovative approach didn’t just save their company—it sparked a movement that has been transforming businesses for decades. Companies like Paul Mueller are embracing this system to empower employees and drive lasting success.
