Business War Games
The quality of strategy decisions is greatly enhanced by creating and testing strategists’ ideas in a safe environment. Think of war games as the strategy equivalent of clinical trials, flight simulators, and sparring partners, all together. That’s what an ACS business war game is about..
Decision Tournaments
We strategists are going to make decisions no matter what. Unfortunately, being human, we’re not particularly good at calculating and contrasting possible futures. That’s what decision tournaments are for. They evaluate which of your strategy options is realistically likely to work best and bear the least risk, by whatever measure(s) of success you choose, in difficult, fluid, even discontinuous environments. No shortcuts: we test all the options and combinations you can think of. That can be millions. (We’ve done it.)
Custom Simulations
A group of strategists are brainstorming, testing their ideas, in real time, with a powerful strategy simulator tailored to their business. We provide the software, based on the technologies we use in our advanced business war games. And you can own it.
Executive Education
ACS has delivered executive-education programs around the world and we produce highly interactive, thought-provoking programs customized for the specific operations and scenarios of your industry. These programs can range from one- or two-day in-house seminars facilitated by ACS experts, to easy-to-use software tools that support individual learning, and more.
