War games are one of the best tools for modern organizations to evaluate and analyze their key strengths and weaknesses and prepare for future scenarios to achieve long-term goals. Arjan Singh has over two decades of experience conducting corporate war games for more than 200 organizations worldwide. In Competitive Success: Building Winning Strategies with Corporate War Games, Singh explores the benefits of building a war game framework and showcases how to leverage it to attain corporate success. This book offers readers an in-depth analysis of the three types of war games -- Tactical, Operational, and Strategic. The author explains the benefits of war games in simulating future competitive environments, engaging different stakeholders in the decision-making process, challenging the company's assumptions, assessing and anticipating potential changes in the market, etc. The book also highlights the advantages of war gaming over traditional planning and shows its practical, real-world applications.

In today's highly competitive environment, companies continuously search for ways that give them an edge over their rivals. With Competitive Success, you will learn to enact strategies and use negative scenarios through war gaming to prepare for difficult times beforehand. Author Arjan Singh meticulously lays out a war gaming framework that can help companies navigate partnerships and acquisitions, size up the competition, identify current and prospective customers, develop a process to gather intelligence and much more. You will also learn the difference between strategic and competitive intelligence, interesting and actionable intelligence, and the logistics of conducting a war game. This is a comprehensive book about war games, and it showcases their absolute necessity in today's corporate environment to achieve long-term success. I found it both educational and thoroughly inspiring. Highly recommended.
