Description
Your Strategy Needs a Strategy is a hands on learning tool for business executives, students, and curious strategists of any kind to experience strategic environments and understand how to choose and execute the right approach to strategy. Using the simplest of businesses - selling lemonade, players must adapt their strategic approach to the various business environments of New York City's five boroughs. Based on the insights of the book Your Strategy Needs a Strategy (Harvard Business Press 2015), this app brings to life the different strategic approaches necessary to survive and thrive in today's dynamic and diverse business environments.
Key features:
- 5 different boroughs representing 5 fundamental strategic environments: classical, adaptive, visionary, shaping, renewal.
- In total, 15 levels of gameplay against an increasingly challenging and strategically adept, computer opponent named after BCG's founder Bruce D. Henderson
- A Sandbox level where you can choose your prefered environment and level of difficulty
- In-game tips and post-game debriefs connect the gameplay to both theory and strategy in the real world
- Interactive Learn More section that provides background on the strategic concepts underlying each environment and approach to strategy
- Sample content from the book Your Strategy Needs a Strategy (Harvard Business Press 2015)
- Direct links to further materials and videos, such as a TED talk (http://www.ted.com/watch/ted-institute/ted-bcg/martin-reeves-your-strategy-needs-a-strategy)
- Extended seminar version of game available as part of BCG's broader strategy offering. Please reach out to the BCG Henderson Institute at bhi@bcg.com for more information.

Notes et avis
Interesting, but bugged and very random
Interesting concept of serious game, but:
- surprisingly enough for a strategy game, luck is a key driver for success,
- and in the last level (manhattan) there seems to be a bug: investing generally cuts your income :-)
Terrible - sorry
Nowhere near the white paper. The game’s mechanics contradict the basics that it tries to teach. Strategy requires thinking based on insights. The heat map moves at random without trend or market signals. Having 1 min. to do better than competition gives no time for thinking. No data gathering gives no insights. All you end-up doing is poking at random, hoping the yield will be better. The foundation of games is simulation of real life mechanics. Besides graphics, the rest is unrealistic. Very disappointing and it doesn’t reflect BCG’s prestigious image and quality of papers. The HBR paper referring to this game as a step forward to instate games as management tools got it terribly wrong and discredit its author. It gives the wrong image of what management games are about and how powerful they are. Sometimes “doing nothing” can be better than “getting it wrong”. Needs to be revisited completely and more seriously.
