OP.03

Operation Longview

Longview runs as three linked sessions spaced across a planning cycle. Each session opens with a scenario card — a price move, a channel disruption, a competitor acquisition, a PR event — and the leadership team has to respond with the plan they actually have, not the one they wish they had. The scenarios compound: a decision in session one changes what the red cell throws at you in session three.

Duration

Three 3-hour sessions over one quarter

Team size

Leadership team, 5–9 people

Format

Remote, scheduled across the quarter

Best for

Leadership teams setting annual or quarterly strategy who want it stress-tested before the board sees it

WHAT GETS TESTED

  • Whether the annual plan survives a competitor move nobody scheduled for
  • How fast the team can re-sequence priorities under a live constraint
  • Which commitments in the plan were never actually load-bearing
