We understand the concepts and apply them carefully. How, then, do we end up fighting price wars, disappointing customers, and performing below goals?</p> <p>For a start, consider what’s missing in that list of tools: anything that takes competitive dynamics into account. That’s where war games and simulations come in, and that’s what we’ll see in action on July 26th.</p> <p>The Oregon Chapter of the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) invites you to its July Learning and Networking Event. In this highly interactive and thought-provoking program, our experienced speaker will discuss and lead us through pricing decisions, pricing mistakes, and pricing war games. We will participate in simulations that shock, amuse, and enlighten as we ponder how to price effectively.</p> <p><strong>Acknowledgement</strong></p> <p>A special thanks to the Oregon Technology Business Center (OTBC) for hosting this event.</p> <p><strong>Speaker</strong></p> <p>Mark Chussil, Founder and CEO of Advanced Competitive Strategies.</p> <p>Mark has conducted hundreds of war games and worked with thousands of strategists in Fortune 500 companies on six continents and helped them make or save billions of dollars.
