Operating Manual
Boardroom puts you in the executive seat at pivotal moments in business history. Each case study presents 3-5 real decisions faced by real executives at companies like Netflix, Apple, Kodak, and Blockbuster.
You make your calls under imperfect information — just like the real executives did. Then you see what actually happened.
The Briefing
Open the case file. Read the company context. Step into your executive role.
The Decisions
Navigate 3-5 connected decision points. Watch for noise — not every option is real.
The Reveal
Redaction bars peel back. See what the real executive decided. See where history diverged.
The Debrief
Learn the framework. Read the Professor Note on theory and the CEO Note on reality.
Some choices are deliberately irrelevant — red herrings and asymmetric information that mirror real executive failure patterns. Learning to filter noise is the most underrated executive capability.
