Additional Benefits

• Facilitated planning using game techniques allows organisations to consider the 'other side of the hill' of competitors, risks and 'what if' scenarios.
• Testing the team's soft skills in the challenging and psychologically safe environment or a game.
• 'Mistakes' made here do not reflect directly on the real world - leaving the participants and the organisation to reflect more impartially on performance and development
• A game gives an experience of working with colleagues in a new environment.  This often gives participants an insight into their performance and encourage fresh networks within the organisation through a shared experience. This aspect of team building is a core use of games.
