Business Wargaming in Milwaukee with SCIP & KappaWest

The Milwaukee, Wisconsin Chapter of the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals - for which I serve as its humble chapter coordinator - met at the Four Points Sheraton at Mitchell Field International Airport to participate in a three-quarter day "Business Wargaming" session, led by workshop facilitator Tim Smith (second from right above) from KappaWest.
And, as expected, the two-person teams got fully engaged in the "live" round in the afternoon, competing for "Market Power Units" (MPUs) to see which team had the superior planning and execution skills in our hypothetical market scenario.
If ever given the chance to participate, don't pass it up - it'll be a great time had by all. If you'd like to learn more about KappaWest, reach its President, C.J. Kurtz, at his West Coast office at +01-949-859-8120. I highly recommend it!
