Ca$h ‘n’ Gun$ is a delightfully silly game where each player takes on the role of a gangster holed up in a warehouse sharing out the proceeds of their crimes. Players aim to maximise their share of the spoils by shooting up their rivals whilst avoiding wounds.
The game has the wonderfully simple objective: The winner is the player who ends the game with the most money whilst still being alive. There’s no point in amassing huge amounts of cash if you get killed.
The same rules can apply to business, particularly when you find yourself in a business downturn. Some organisations aim to maximise revenues by skimping on service and quality – alienating customers who will desert in the long term. Others become over expansionist aiming to buy market share from customers, but at the expense of the profit the business needs to survive. Some will skimp on employees, losing good people who feel undervalued and that they would be invested in elsewhere, leaving them with the least talented staff who are unlikely to make the most of opportunities as they arise.
Think carefully about your strategy, ensuring that you don’t grab too much cash, storing up trouble from others, or that you aren’t too cautious, missing out on the opportunities you do have, whether you’re playing Ca$h ‘n’ Gun$ or making budget decisions.
