Can Strategic Gaming® Help You?

Can Strategic Gaming® and/or one of SGG's other tools and capabilities add value for you and your company? By answering and submitting the questions below, we will be happy to help you better understand your needs. Please note: Your responses to this diagnostic will be kept strictly confidential.

What industry is your company in?  


In the issues or opportunity you are looking at, is the value you will realize dependent on the actions of other players—competitors, partners, vendors or suppliers, governmental entities and/or persons, or special interest groups?



If you answered "yes" above: Will, or should, your choices affect the choices made by these players, or vice versa?




In the issues or opportunity you are looking, which of the following decisions may be involved, by you and/or other players (may choose more than one):

Bidding

Market entry


Product launch timing


Pricing


Country entry


Acquisition or Divestment


Procurement


Licensing


Negotiations


Strategic alliances or joint ventures


Management of partner or supplier relations


Capacity acquisition, sizing, expansion


Growth investments


How to engage governments, their agencies, and/or political actors


Other? Please specify

Would you like to provide additional details about the decisions above?

If you will be interacting with other players, will there be a complex set of action-reaction dynamics in which you and other players have multiple decision points over a period of time (analogous to a game of chess)?




In some situations, the choices of other players affect the options available to you and your choices affect the options available to them. If this is not the case for this opportunity, please skip to the next question. For this opportunity:

Is it difficult to understand why other players make the choices they do?

Is it difficult to predict what choices they will make?

Are their choices driven by “bigger issues” beyond this opportunity?


Which of the following may result from mismanagement of interactions with other players? You may select more than one.

 Delays
 Competitive risks (e.g., getting blindsided or outmaneuvered, winding up  in a  weak position)
 Poor deals (e.g., inadequate terms, leaving value on the table)
 Reputational damage
 Difficulties/misalignment with partners or suppliers
 Missed opportunities

Based on such issues, roughly what fraction of your opportunity might be at risk? CHECK ONE

In the issue or opportunity you are looking at, is the value you will realize dependent on a number of uncertainties and risks, other than those posed by other players?



Will you be able to learn and respond after some of these uncertainties
are resolved?



Thinking about these uncertainties and risks, roughly what fraction of your opportunity might be at risk? CHECK ONE

 

Please note: Your responses to this diagnostic will be kept strictly confidential. An SGG principal will respond in the next 24 to 72 hours.
