STILL THINKING IT OVER?
The challenge is the game.
Getting started should be easy.
A browser-based business decision game. Each case puts you in charge of a company at a pivotal moment. You read evidence, choose a strategy, respond to crises, and review your reasoning alongside what actually happened. It takes about 15 minutes per case, depending on how deeply you read.
You can choose a different strategy and see how it performs in our simulation. Your result is a modelled scenario, not proof that you would outperform a real CEO. The challenge is to make a strong decision with imperfect information, then learn from the trade-offs.
No. The case gives you the situation and the evidence you need. You can start with curiosity and build confidence as you go. It’s also a useful way to challenge assumptions if you already work in business.
Contender includes 17 scenarios: Tesla and the first set of companies. The Chair includes all 51 scenarios. Both include evidence files, decision challenges, your decision record, and the historical outcome. Tesla opens first; later cases unlock as you finish earlier ones.
The Chair is a library you can work through and replay at your pace. Start with Tesla, then practice on different companies as they unlock.
