What is an IP War Game / Decision Game?
- An exercise used to reduce ambiguity in a proposed course of action, or to prepare for ambiguous ‘crisis’ situations by building the capability of your team.
- It simulates the interplay between you and selected competitors, partners, regulators and customers in order to test your assumptions and identify unknowns.
- It seeks to illuminate opportunities and threats so that you can anticipate and address them in advance.
Why a game?
- Any action you take may cause reactions from competitors, partners and/or customers
- Many of these actions are both difficult to anticipate and may impede your plans
- War games eliminate biases toward expected results by having others put those expectations to a test
Preparing and running the war game or decision game
- Pre game interviews and data collection.
- Pre game briefing to participants.
- Multiple rounds of strategic moves by each team followed up strategy enhancements.
- Post game after action review and data collection.
- Post game planning.
