See how organisations truly succeed.
A five-day executive simulation where leaders run, scale and govern a company using The Standard Model.
Overview
SMX is an immersive executive simulation where participants run a company using The Standard Model for Business.
Working in leadership teams, participants make strategic, operational and governance decisions as their organisation moves through the stages of development. Every decision affects the company’s trajectory, forcing leaders to balance growth, capability, risk and capital.
The experience provides a rare opportunity to see how the enterprise system interacts, and how leadership decisions shape organisational outcomes.
Who SMX is for
SMX is designed for leaders responsible for building, scaling or governing organisations, including:
• CEOs and founders
• Executive leadership teams
• Business unit leaders
• Strategy and transformation leaders
• Senior professionals preparing for executive roles
Participants benefit most when they bring real organisational experience and decision-making responsibility.
What participants experience
During SMX, leadership teams will:
• Build and scale a company through the stages of growth
• Allocate capital across competing priorities
• Respond to market events and organisational challenges
• Strengthen governance and control frameworks
• Align leadership decisions with long-term enterprise success
Each round introduces new pressures, forcing teams to adapt their strategy and leadership approach.
Executive Outcomes
SMX is designed to develop system-level thinking in leaders, enabling them to operate with greater clarity, coordination and control across the enterprise.
