At Corporate War Games, we design and deliver high-impact war games and strategy workshops that sharpen competitive thinking and elevate strategies to new levels.
Are you prepared for your competitors actions?
Do you need to stress test your strategies and understand why they will not work?
Do you need to align your internal stakeholders on your strategic direction?
Successful business leaders don’t leave strategy to chance—they rehearse, pressure-test, and refine before execution.
Since 2013, Corporate War Games has designed and facilitated competitive strategy workshops for organizations across industries and geographies. Drawing on a decade of experience, we have refined a methodology that is both practical and adaptable, helping teams anticipate competitive moves and pressure-test strategic choices.
Our war game–based workshops—also known as competitive strategy simulations—produce actionable playbooks that equip leaders with the tools, insights, and strategic acumen to confront competitors directly and capture new opportunities.
Our workshops are built to generate insights that matter—clarifying assumptions, exposing blind spots, and strengthening decision-making. This approach reflects what we have learned about what works in practice, and how to avoid common pitfalls that can undermine strategy development.
Partnering with Corporate War Games means engaging in a structured process that encourages fresh thinking and informed choices, equipping your organization to compete with confidence in an uncertain environment.

WAR GAMING:
Rehearse your possible future actions in a 'safe environment'
War games are powerful tools that help companies improve product development, strengthen brand planning, and test decisions against competitive challenges. These simulations “stress test” strategies by letting participants explore issues, analyze options, and prepare for potential risks.
The most effective war games focus on a few critical issues and key competitors. This keeps the discussion sharp and ensures real learning. To encourage full participation, we recommend limiting sessions to about 50 people so every voice can be heard and teams leave with a shared view of the competitive landscape.
A well-run war game gives leaders a 360° perspective on their market. By taking the role of competitors and other stakeholders, teams uncover new insights, sharpen their thinking, and strengthen their strategies.
When used regularly, war games make planning more resilient and adaptive. They help organizations stay ahead of change, anticipate competitive moves, and identify new opportunities.
COMPETITIVE SIMULATIONS:
A perfect setting to analyse situations, plan counter-moves and execute affective strategy.
Competitive simulations turn complex external challenges into clear, manageable exercises. They give teams a safe space to explore ideas, test strategies, and spark creative thinking.
In these sessions, your team works together to brainstorm, problem-solve, and prepare for real-world challenges. The simulation takes what may feel like a chaotic marketplace—new competitors, shifting trends, or sudden changes—and makes it easier to understand and respond.
By stepping into these scenarios, teams practice making decisions, uncover blind spots, and build confidence. Simulations encourage innovation, agility, and stronger collaboration, helping participants think ahead rather than just react.
With competitive simulations, your organization learns how to turn uncertainty into opportunity—and moves forward with clarity and confidence.
SCENARIO PLANNING:
UNDERSTAND AND PREPARE FOR POTENTIAL SHIFTS IN THE INDUSTRY ECO-SYSTEM BEFORE THEY OCCUR.
Scenario Planning is a powerful tool for looking ahead and preparing for future changes in the economy, industry, and competitive landscape. It helps teams think beyond business as usual, sparking new ideas and uncovering risks and opportunities that may not be obvious today.
The real value of Scenario Planning comes not from the discussion itself, but from turning insights into action. A well-run session aligns stakeholders on clear priorities and concrete next steps that can be acted on immediately.
At its best, Scenario Planning creates an early warning system—helping leaders spot signals of change, anticipate risks, and adapt before competitors do. This foresight strengthens resilience and builds confidence in decision-making.
By making Scenario Planning part of your strategy process, your company can stay agile, seize emerging opportunities, and thrive in times of uncertainty. It transforms vision into practical choices that guide your path forward.
