Title:
Margin At Risk: Decision-Making to the Test

Abstract:
A leading business's profit margins are vulnerable! Players are split into teams and assigned individual roles within the business and must make decisions to tighten their supply chain network and ensure they stay competitive in the market. Each player within a team has specific business objectives based on their role's priorities - which may conflict with other role's priorities. Players will learn that success of the business hinges on interdependent decision making and data sharing -- especially when unexpected changes to their network occurs. The team that most effectively collaborates will end up as the winner!
