GREAT GAME OF BUSINESS is the NEXT natural program in the process, following Verne’s Rockefeller Habits program.  And Jack Stack has his new book out called: A Stake in the Outcome

What this ISN’T about is open book management – you don’t have to share profits, etc. – this is the big misunderstanding about Jack’s material and has caused some to shy away.

Specifically:

1) they take strategic planning to the next level in what they call High Involvement Planning – particularly in how it engages the sales side of the organization; 

2) they bring much better process to determining your Critical Number and how and where to get competitive data in making this determination; 

3) they take the daily and weekly huddles to the next level and provide a specific process for getting people to project ahead (what they call Forward Forecasting) instead of just reporting last week – very, very important in making the whole organization more predictive, and

4) how to properly use bonuses and incentives – we often hurt ourselves instead of help ourselves with our bonuses programs.  You’ll also get to see huddles in action, see how they use Scoreboards throughout their firm, and meet SRC employees.
