Executive Inc.

Promote Effective Cross Functional Team Work with this
Powerful Team Building Simulation for Your Executive Retreats

Executive Inc., a high impact and effective team building simulation, creates a parallel universe that mirrors your organization's structure and corporate culture. The first Inc. in the title will be replaced with a name that is similar to your company’s name or one of its product lines. We have used The Toy Factory: A Team Building Simulation with Toys, Bikes R Us: A Team Building Sessions for Charity that involves assembling bicycles, Resorts R Us, a company that assembles gift bags, a travel agency, and Kidz Kare International.

Through Executive Inc., your team will develop strategies to:

  • Identify and eliminate time wasting communication stopgaps and enhance the decision making process.
  • Thrive despite the challenges of a turbulent business environment.
  • Forge strong alliances and build stronger links between geographically dispersed teams.
  • Break out of the “silo” mentality.
  • Reduce friction and "turf wars" between organizational levels and departments.
  • Get “buy-in” w.r.t. your organization’s vision, values and corporate culture.
  • Lead a cross functional team.
  • Embrace and champion organizational change.

Executive Inc. Overview

After an executive briefing, your team will dive right in and operate one or two companies. Over the course of a business cycle (ideally 4 quarters), the company will operate under one of two scenarios (see below). There will be currency and regular customer attitude surveys to measure and track company performance. Your business challenges will be built into the simulation. The terminology and jargon used in the simulation will also reflect your corporate culture.

Then, we will debrief the simulation thoroughly and identify strategies for working in a cross functional environment and overcoming the silo mentality.

Optimal Group Size: 22 - 75

Session Includes:

  • Pre-session CEO briefing to Pinpoint your Key Business Challenges
  • Post Session Follow Up Briefing

Scenario One:
Shift in Corporate
Culture & Direction

Your group will begin to operate a company with a specific vision, set of values and corporate culture. The executive team will face the challenge of devising a strategy to modify the corporate culture and mandate.

At the beginning of the 3rd quarter, the organizational changes will be announced. The company will undergo transformation and begin to operate under its new mandate.

Alternative Scenario:
Corporate Re-structure
or Merger

Your team will operate two companies, competitors in the same industry. One company will be located in North America and the other will be based in the Asia Pacific Rim. The companies will manufacture the same product (or offer the same service) and compete for the same customer base.

The executive teams will be charged with the responsibility of merging the two organizations in order to improve their competitive position in their quest for a larger share of the global market. Under the full 4 hour simulation, a cross-functional team will be available to help them devise and implement the strategy.

This version of the simulation is ideal for executive retreats. If you want to use this simulation for other areas of the organization or as part of a corporate rollout of a change initiative, Inc. Inc., a larger version, involving 3 - 4 organizational levels, is available through our sister company.
