Open Book Management (OBM) is a unique methodology and approach to running an organization. It is based on a simple, yet powerful belief, “When employees think, act and feel like owners….everybody wins.” This thoroughly tested operating system (as explained in Jack Stack’s bestselling book “The Great Game of Business”) teaches your people the fundamentals of business, involves them at levels they may never have been involved before, holds them accountable and provides them a stake in the outcome.
