Ready for your whole team to buy in?

 

Header_wo_jack_bigbook_steve bakerHow often do you think to yourself; “If only they understood how the money works in this company.” Probably every time an employee asks for new equipment, expansion, or a raise.

At the same time the employees may struggle with trust since they suspect that others are paid better or money is being pocketed at their expense.

Often when executives consider more financial transparency, they have concerns over teams that lacks financial literacy. They worry it will stir up more drama and lead to a culture that isn’t built on mutual trust and respect.

In fact, many of those executives end up carrying the financial burden of growing the business alone and moving in secrecy for what they believe is the good of the whole.

Wouldn’t it be great if you had the full support and buy-in of everyone in the company to drive financial metrics with complete understanding of how a business makes and spends money? 

Imagine having the tools and knowledge to build a culture where everyone in the company has a stake in the success (or loss) of the business, and all are actively motivated to drive the company forward with accountability and transparency. 

Introducing the Internationally Acclaimed Great Game of Business Master Business Course.

The Great Game of Business takes the concept of open-book management (OBM) - creating transparency by sharing financial information with employees - to another level.

It gamifies it, helping each person in your company to act like an owner and play a real role in everyone's success!

Unlike other methodologies, The Great Game Of Business is built to help you grow your business, AND improve the lives and fortunes of every member of your organization!

At the core of this program, Jack Stack and Steve Baker will help you implement and distill the practical 10-step process to create an atmosphere in which every employee feels like an owner of the company. This means opening up the books to develop absolute financial transparency and involving your employees heavily in planning the company’s future.

The ability to generate & spread wealth

innovation@3x

Continuous innovation


The Great Game
encourages employees to focus on the present and to work on the business at hand. This frees managers to work on all the issues on the horizon. That’s how decision-makers stay in control. By focusing laser-like on the future, they’re able to innovate on the fly, eliminate surprises and deliver consistently good results. But to win over the long haul, every department or team must continually improve its processes and procedures.

satisfaction@3x

Educated people and a blueprint for higher job satisfaction

Customized, on-the-job training works best because it’s hands-on and rooted in reality. And the lessons stick because the subject matter is relevant; the approach is disarming and informal; the exchange of knowledge and information is frequent and direct. It enables everyone to seek ways to upgrade jobsand make work more fun and profitable.
