The scenario: You are a member of the board of a top international model railway company, you are in the boardroom having a brainstorm with the other board members and department heads.
The main item on the addenda: Where will our business be in 5 to 10 years time? And what can we start to design, develop and manufacture that will get us where we want to be and secure our place ahead of the competition?
You are asked to contribute your ideas. Remember that a brainstorm is where you get to let your hair down and say what you want, not just whet the Chairman wants to hear. Don't offend the CEO he may just demote you to the mail room.
Bonus: If your ideas are ever produced, you may just be in line for a promotion as the minutes of the meeting are being taken and what you say is on the record. In the short term, if the Chairman likes what he hears, he may just reward you with a little Christmas bonus...
Ideas posted here online. Competition closes 30th November. Best idea wins. Prize to be announced shortly...
