Palladium Group helps Companies "Stress Test" their Strategies

BOSTON, March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Palladium Group, Inc. ("Palladium"), the global leader in strategy execution consulting, is pleased to announce the release of "Stress Test your Strategy with War Games." Since 2008, economic instability, uncertainty and risk management have been regular topics of discussion around the world's boardrooms and executive suites. Much has been written about the need for organizations to place greater emphasis on uncertainty and risk in the planning process.  From our experience, most organizations are ill equipped to manage these challenges, much less predict them. Our authors, Mathieu Liminana and Matthew Tice, build the case for using War Games as a means of rigorously and rapidly testing your core assumptions about how the environment will respond to the decisions you make. War Gaming provides companies with additional insights into business scenarios that traditional approaches inadequately address, such as:

• Stress test strategic decisions;
• Challenge business models;
• Respond to disruptive forces in the environment;
• Test a product or project launch plan; and
• Identify and manage risks.

Palladium is available to discuss these techniques with your executives and strategists who are seeking new alternatives to avoid costly mistakes, manage risks and exploit the weaknesses of competitors.
