The high Intensity of delivering ten 4-hour virtual connections over a two-week period to 56 Participants working remotely and in offices throughout Europe and Asia at 2:30 AM eastern time felt vaguely familiar.
At some point during the 4th and final round of the customized business simulation, when participants were figuring out their final attempts to execute their business strategy and maximize their Enterprise Value, I heard in my head the voice of my favorite Peloton instructor (Sam Yo) say, “This is where it gets sticky and you are going to get a little breathless. If you can, and you know you should, raise the resistance by 1-3.”
And so, the participants did. The teams, running their own global manufacturing business gave it everything they had by analyzing the markets, assessing their competitors, and making their decisions in pricing, marketing, manufacturing, supply chain, and finance. And we (participants and me the instructor) were all breathless when the intense workout was over.
