Identifying the strengths and weaknesses
The game process is built on communication and reveals each employee. You will find out who is ambitious and ready to take risks but disregards the opinions of others, who prefers to play solo, and who will focus on cooperation even at the expense of their own interests.
Development of project thinking
The game is based on project management practices and develops skills in planning, budgeting, and resource management. The format is accessible to employees without managerial experience, but due to the variety of tactics, it also allows even Senior specialists to improve their skills.
Development
of risk management
and delivery skills
Improving communication in teams
The workshop allows conflict situations to be played out in a simulation format and highlights actions or thinking patterns that hinder teams from finding mutually beneficial solutions.
Business Goals understanding
In the game, everyone has their own team, budget, and financial goals. Employees need to pay salaries and sell products. The game excellently simulates the business environment and practically demonstrates the challenges companies face in the market, explaining why it is not always possible to send someone on vacation or give a raise without issues.
Development of decision-making skills
In the process of the game, participants make decisions under conditions of uncertainty. The need to make quick choices creates a situation of controlled stress. This allows participants to train skills in a comfortable environment, the absence of which could cost the company tens of thousands of dollars.
In the game, each participant manages their own company. Just like in real life, you can't predict the future or simply sit back. Thus, employees learn to mitigate risks and take deadlines more seriously.
