Case Study:
Entering the 2007-08 season, the Idaho Stampede (NBA D-League) underwent front office staffing changes, leaving them short of game operations experience and the necessary knowledge of logistical game preparation.

Solution:
PWP provided several days of on-site training, walking the game operations staff through closed-door training that included a fully simulated game with teams and scripted timeouts.  This process provided the Stampede crucial on-the-job training for each staff member to learn their individual game-night role.  Additionally, PWP provided script tutorials and entertainment templates for their office to apply towards the design of future games.

Results:
By opening night, their game scripts along with music and video libraries were prepared for the season launch.  Pat Walker directed Opening Night, providing hands-on training for the game operations staff.  Upon project completion, the Idaho Stampede immediately showed results with a successful game presentation the next night in their second home game. 

Throughout the season, their fan-base was entertained and more importantly... they were engaged. This provided the Stampede's sales, sponsorship and marketing departments a more robust product to sell to fans and partners.  No doubt - the crowd interaction provided the catalyst for a strong home court advantage as the Stampede went 21-4 at home en route to the 2008 NBA D-League Championship.
