Companies Successfully Implementing Great Game of Business® 

Ready for your whole team to buy in?

Header_wo_jack_bigbook_steve baker

How often do you think to yourself; “If only they understood how the money works in this company.” Probably every time an employee asks for new equipment, expansion, or a raise.

At the same time the employees may struggle with trust since they suspect that others are paid better or money is being pocketed at their expense.

Often when executives consider more financial transparency, they have concerns over teams that lacks financial literacy. They worry it will stir up more drama and lead to a culture that isn’t built on mutual trust and respect.

In fact, many of those executives end up carrying the financial burden of growing the business alone and moving in secrecy for what they believe is the good of the whole.

Wouldn’t it be great if you had the full support and buy-in of everyone in the company to drive financial metrics with complete understanding of how a business makes and spends money? 

Imagine having the tools and knowledge to build a culture where everyone in the company has a stake in the success (or loss) of the business, and all are actively motivated to drive the company forward with accountability and transparency. 

Introducing the Internationally Acclaimed Great Game of Business Master Business Course.

The Great Game of Business takes the concept of open-book management (OBM) - creating transparency by sharing financial information with employees - to another level.

It gamifies it, helping each person in your company to act like an owner and play a real role in everyone's success!

Unlike other methodologies, The Great Game Of Business is built to help you grow your business, AND improve the lives and fortunes of every member of your organization!

At the core of this program, Jack Stack and Steve Baker will help you implement and distill the practical 10-step process to create an atmosphere in which every employee feels like an owner of the company. This means opening up the books to develop absolute financial transparency and involving your employees heavily in planning the company’s future.

A proven, thoroughly tested toolkit to start playing
The Great Game of Business

The program is based on three core components, all centered around the critical number for the company.
As you go through this program, you’ll learn about each of the core components which is accompanied by practical tools that will help you implement!

Know and Teach the Rules

Learn how to build trust and mutual respect throughout the company by teaching the base of financial literacy and align your team around the Critical Number. You'll learn how to involve your team in High Involvement Planning ™ so they want to buy in.

Follow the Action and Keep Score

Learn how to help your team keep the score – an essential part of being winner-focused. You’ll also learn how to effectively communicate and instill an action-oriented culture that compels your employees to do their best and own their work.

Provide A Stake in the Outcome®

Tie it all together by inspiring the motivation in your employees through quick wins, reward and recognition programs, and financial incentives.

By the end of this program you can expect...

Recurso 1@3x
wealth@3x
ignorance@3x

Enhanced teamwork

When employees have the same objectives and share in the same well-designed financial incentive program, they support one another, pull together, and do whatever it takes to achieve those objectives. Engage them by giving them A Stake in the Outcome®.

The ability to generate & spread wealth

To ensure prosperity, employees must accomplish one big yearly goal: to grow corporate earnings. This long-term equity game places employees’ fiscal fate directly in their own hands, prompting them to become smarter, more innovative owners. The Game allows you to create and share productivity gains as they’re made throughout the year.

To end organizational ignorance

Ignorance can kill companies; awareness can grow them. The Game teaches everyone how your business works—and why moving the numbers in the right direction puts more money in their pockets. Rally your team around the common goal.

innovation@3x
satisfaction@3x

Continuous innovation

The Great Game encourages employees to focus on the present and to work on the business at hand. This frees managers to work on all the issues on the horizon. That’s how decision-makers stay in control. By focusing laser-like on the future, they’re able to innovate on the fly, eliminate surprises and deliver consistently good results. But to win over the long haul, every department or team must continually improve its processes and procedures.


Educated people and a blueprint for higher job satisfaction

Customized, on-the-job training works best because it’s hands-on and rooted in reality. And the lessons stick because the subject matter is relevant; the approach is disarming and informal; the exchange of knowledge and information is frequent and direct. It enables everyone to seek ways to upgrade jobs and make work more fun and profitable.

What are leaders saying about The Great Game of Business®

“As the go-to organization in our community for responding to community issues and convening people to solve those issues, it is important for us to be nimble and able to respond quickly. We saw GGOB as a way to help us to work toward a common goal and help everyone see the ‘big’ picture of CPO.”

janet_dankert

Janet Dankert
CPO’s president and CEO, Community Partnership of the Ozarks

 

 

“Sharing and being open and honest are not always common traits in leadership, but after reading Jack Stack’s book, I recognized that these are the principles that build trust and empower the team to come up with solutions.”

JeffHilimire

Jeff Hilimire
CEO, Dragon Army

 

 

“Before The Game, we felt that the ship was pretty buttoned up, and the only opportunities we had wouldn’t make that big of a difference. After playing Great Game™ for one year, we’ve broken that stigma and have proven the small things really do play a huge role. GGOB has brought new life into our company.”

MeganJohnson

Megan Johnson
VP of Operations, 417 Magazine

 

“Our motivation to play GGOB is fueled by our desire to create a successful, self-perpetuating business that provides the very best care for pets and an excellent client experience by a dedicated team of employee-owners whom each has the opportunity to be self-reliant.”

RandySpencer

Dr. Randy Spencer, DVM
Owner, 1st Pet Vet

 

“One thing that has been consistent from the very beginning is the level of employee engagement and the positive, uplifting vibe during each of our huddles. We continue to invest in The Great Game of Business because it provides financial literacy for all employees, great transparency, and visibility. It just works.”

JohnCostello

John Costello
CEO, Cherry’s Industrial Equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a limit of seats per business?

This course is for leadership and their team. We encourage you to bring up as much of your team to this program.  We’ve seen the most spectacular results when the entire team signed up, so if you want to add more members of the organization, we are in full support. Just let us know! There’s no limit of seats per business. 
 
If you have eight or more individuals who you want involved, consider a customized, private course designed specifically for your business.

Is Growth Institute a University? Can I count the course towards university credits?

We are an official Corporate and Digital Learning Institution but not technically a university. We are regulated and accredited by an AdvancED. This means that we are audited by strict guidelines that ensure quality of learning. The Master Course is an accredited certificate program. It is not the equivalent of a University’s Degree. The acceptance of Master Courses as university credit would fully depend on the institution granting your degree.

 

What can I do if I miss the live sessions with the coach or author of the class?

All our live sessions with authors and coaches are recorded and available on your learning platform. You will find them following the same steps mentioned in the reminder you receive a few days before the live classes.
 
- I’ll be traveling/ busy during a lot of the live sessions and I’m concerned that I’ll fall behind. - 
 
If you will be traveling, you can always dial in from wherever you are. You don’t have to be suited up in the office to participate in the live sessions. If you are 100% sure that you will miss the class, you can still submit your question/ challenge/ feedback and we’ll discuss it during the workshop or mastermind. As mentioned above, you’ll get the recordings of all the live sessions to keep for 12 months after the course end date.
