The Strategy Organization Announces Launch of Modern Gaming and Hospitality Consulting Firm
The Strategy Organization (“TSO”), a modern consulting firm, announces official launch, specializing in strategies to boost marketing, operations, and innovation horsepower for companies in the hospitality and gaming industry, as casinos begin to re-open their doors post shutdown.
The Strategy Organization is founded by Seth Schorr, Josh Swissman and Matthew Chilton. Collectively they bring 75 years of deep-rooted experience in the hospitality and gaming industry, time-tested techniques and passion for the industry. With unparalleled focus on guiding organizations to achieve maximum value and operational efficiency, they create innovative techniques to propel businesses forward, distinctly in the post-pandemic era.
Schorr says, “We are extremely excited to launch The Strategy Organization. Together with our Alliance Partners we create strategies that address, head-on, the challenges our industry is currently facing and deliver on the organization’s mission.”
The hospitality and gaming industry has been devasted by Covid-19 and TSO will link arms with businesses to create re-opening strategies that reinvigorate the market. The collective experience of the founders and partners is second to none in operating properties; starting with the 1989 Las Vegas mega-resort and a multitude of projects in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and Macau. The Founding Partners have proven methods to forge forward during the most challenging times, like 9/11, 2008’s Great Recession, and One October. They are instrumental partners that provide guidance in developing strategic re-opening plans to emerge from this pandemic and re-mobilize. Chilton says, “These last several weeks have been unlike any this industry has ever seen. We know businesses are eager to re-open and recover swiftly. Our reputable and trustworthy skill, expertise and industry experience can help you identify new revenue streams and operational efficiencies. We work closely with your team to provide data-driven strategies that get your business volumes back to where they need to be. We are ready to roll up our sleeves and help. We are in this together.”
With the appointment of Marc Schorr and Bo Bernhard, Ph.D., as Senior Advisors, they provide distinctive insights, global reach, and decorated credentials. They have faced industry challenges and are prepared to offer their valuable market strategies to re-open properties.
As a comprehensive consulting firm, TSO provides a suite of business solutions from Marketing, Gaming, Operations, Innovation, Human Resources, Analytics and Finance; bringing holistic innovative techniques to drive competitive advantage.
Josh Swissman says, “I am thrilled to launch The Strategy Organization. With our deep-rooted experience in hospitality and gaming, and longstanding history in Las Vegas, it couldn’t be a more important time to serve our industry, in Las Vegas and globally. We are prepared to support with re-opening properties to revitalize our industry.”

Front desk workers at Park MGM, represented by Teamsters Local 986, have unanimously ratified a strong first collective bargaining agreement. The two-year contract protects and rewards 82 workers, delivering higher wages, improved benefits, and stronger workplace protections.
The bargaining unit includes front desk clerks, head cashiers, rooms controllers, lobby ambassadors, and guest service representatives. They play a critical role in delivering a seamless and welcoming guest experience from check-in to check-out.
“Organizing with Local 986 was an easy choice that led to overwhelmingly positive results. This contract allows me to provide a better future for myself and my family. I’m very grateful for all the support throughout this process,” said Andrea Mata, a front desk clerk and proud member of Local 986.
Under the new agreement, workers will receive a 10% wage increase, improved benefits, and an enhanced pension plan. Workers will now have access to the Teamsters Health and Welfare plan that reduces their deductibles by lowering co-pays and out-of-pocket costs.
“This agreement shows what’s possible when workers come together and organize. Strong contracts are built on solidarity, and this victory delivers real improvements that raise standards across the industry,” said Tommy Blitsch, Director of the Teamsters Convention, Trade Show, and Casino Division.
“These members showed strength and determination from day one and it paid off. Winning a first contract like this is a big milestone that delivers immediate improvements while building lasting power for the future,” said Tim Vera, President of Local 986.
