Enfilade.

A business wargame that anticipates competitors' actions and pressure-tests your strategy against everything they could do before you commit.
What it is

A business wargame to future-proof your strategy.

The cardinal mistake in any competitive endeavour is mirror-imaging, a wishful thinking that your rival will pursue the same goals, strategy and tactics as you do.

Enfilade© — from enfilading fire, a view from a flanking position — future-proofs your innovation strategy against competitive reactions by placing your business teams to the outside or to the flank of their current roles to act as a competitor. It prepares you not for what a rival will do, but for everything they could do.

Using rigorous analysis of competitive governance, doctrines and thinking, Enfilade© avoids mirror imaging bias and role-plays competitive strategies so that your teams can anticipate competitive actions better.

How it works

Three rounds from your move to a competitor-proof plan.

1

Action

We as brand

You open as the brand setting out your strategy, launch or NPD and the moves you intend to make on the market.

2

Re-action

We as competition

Teams switch sides and play the rival, attacking your plan with every counter-move a real competitor could make.

3

Counteraction

We as brand again

Back as the brand, you answer each threat turning exposed weaknesses into a stronger, competitor-proof action plan.
