The Business Cycle

There is not better training ground for business than a poker game. In poker you have to make split second decisions, taking into account multiple factors and using these factors to extract imperfect information in order to maximize your utility.

Poker and business are long term games that reward the calculated risk taker. In business – and in life – there is seldom PERFECT INFORMATION – or the ability to know everything. With perfect information there would always be perfect outcomes, however in business and in poker – no one every reveals their full hand.

The business cycle which we have developed helps delegates to better understand where Game Theory fits into the decision making cycle. Once understood, the powerful techniques that exist in the strategic game of war – that is poker – are identified, qualified and then made proficient through the actual playing of the game.
