A challenging strategic management
          business game for senior managers
         that brings out many business issues.

 

The Second
Crossing

Strategic planning, problem solving
managing budgets and time management are only
a few of the areas covered by this business game.

 
The Process
An exercise which has been successfully used by many large organisations, it differs significantly from most business games in that it runs in real time.

A political and economic time-bomb is about to explode unless someone can unravel the truth behind 'The Second Crossing.'

A journalist about to break a major financial scandal tragically drowns. A colleague takes up the story. He alerts a close friend John York, Chief Executive of a multinational corporation, that a particular company in his newly formed construction consortium may be involved in the scandal. This would prove disastrous to their bid to build the Second Channel Crossing.

York sets up a secret meeting in Paris to form a new consortium, but is killed when his plane crashes on the return journey. This leaves his company unable to submit their tender application, thereby placing 5,000 UK jobs at risk.

The group become active players in uncovering the plot which unfolds before them whilst trying to identify a consortium, which will secure the contract.

On completing this business game participants will:
  • appreciate the political and financial complexities of working in an international environment
  • learn how to build business relationships through experience
  • see the benefits of working together to solve the problems that face them
  • appreciate the skills of listening and questioning
  • understand the need for clarity in written and verbal communication
  • tackled problem solving issues in a logical and abstract way
  • be able to apply strategic planning
  • have managed a budget
  • have set objectives and priorities
  • managed time effectively (if they are successful!)
  • understand the importance of team briefing and checking understanding
  • have made difficult and effective decisions under pressure
  • exercised excellent leadership skills
  • appreciate the benefits of a team building activity.
