Hi Clarke et al, I have been experimenting with Strategy & Tactics Trees of late - my initial impression is very favourable. Like all the Thinking Tools they ...
In some recent correspondence with John Sterman (author of Business Dynamics and The Beer Game) I told him about my experience with ME seniors playing The...
