November 17–21, 2026 | Week 3 of Departments & Duties
Every decision creates a reaction.
A decision that seems small to one person can create a major impact somewhere else in the business.
It can affect a team.
A customer.
A department.
A budget.
A deadline.
Or even the direction of the organization.
Join Pitch Play Co. for The Ripple Effect of Business Decisions, the third week of our November Departments & Duties season.
This experience is designed for high school students, college students, professionals, career changers, entrepreneurs, business owners, and anyone looking to better understand how decisions affect the people and organizations around them.
Throughout the week, we'll focus on how every decision impacts business — helping you think beyond the immediate result and understand the bigger consequences of the choices you make.
👾 This Week's Class
The Ripple Effect of Business Decisions
Business decisions don't happen in isolation.
When one person makes a decision, someone else may have to respond to it.
When one department changes direction, another department may have to adjust.
When a business chooses to spend money in one area, that money isn't available somewhere else.
And when leaders make decisions about people, products, customers, or strategy, those decisions can affect the entire organization.
In this class, you'll explore how to:
Understand how decisions affect different parts of a business
Think beyond the immediate outcome of a decision
Identify who may be affected by your decisions
Understand how departments and teams depend on one another
Recognize potential consequences before making a decision
Consider customers, employees, resources, and business goals
Understand the difference between short-term and long-term impact
Communicate decisions more effectively
Think through multiple perspectives before taking action
Make more intentional decisions in business
👾 Why This Matters
It's easy to look at a decision and only ask:
"What happens next?"
But business requires you to ask a bigger question:
"What happens because of this?"
A decision can create opportunities.
It can create problems.
It can solve one issue while creating another.
It can help one department while creating additional work for another.
Understanding these connections is an important part of understanding how a business actually operates.
Good decision-making isn't just about making a choice. It's about understanding the impact of that choice.
Pitch Play Co. is about learning how to play the game of business by understanding how the pieces connect and how every move can affect the rest of the board.
