Scaling Operations Through Crisis — When the Market Turns

COO simulation set inside Petrolia S.A., an integrated energy group facing a 30% downstream demand contraction. Across three decision rounds — Day 30 stop-the-bleeding, Day 90 rebuild-under-constraint, Day 180 position-for-the-bounce — the participant balances cash recovery against the Capitalia covenant cushion, long-game capability preservation as defended by audit chair Sofía Bermúdez, and customer continuity for Logística TransAmericana. Built around the canonical contraction-period playbooks of Tim Cook, Dave Cote, Carol Tomé, the Daimler Kurzarbeit deployment, the Boeing-Spirit supplier discipline, Jeff Wilke and Doug McMillon.
