Elevation Insights ™ | Strategic Planning & War Games Briefing materials/playbook Internal Company Mandate Description: I want the senior management team to explore a series of stress tests that model some of the challenges we are facing in diverse areas such as macroeconomic demand slowdown, disruptive innovations launched by our competitors, intense competitive pricing and market share pressures due to commoditization of our products, customer loyalty erosion, slow local/global expansion, supply chain disruptions and upcoming regulations that could severely hurt our business. The team should develop a series of war games to see how our company performs under the above severe stress conditions and offer recommendations to respond to them. We need to include these war games within our quarterly planning sessions. Generate the war games rules and briefing playbook so that we can discuss the materials during the next executive meeting.
