Agenda
The basic reason
for using this
simulation is it
brings all the
values in play and
team members
have to only to
remember but to
demonstrate the
same

The exercise is Fun.

But it is designed with serious learning
purposes.
Playing the game mirrors the issues of working
as teams within an organization.
The many metaphors in the exercise all link to
real world situations and opportunities and the
culture of the organization will reflect itself in
the play.

While a goal is FUN, the real goal is

learning. In the exercise, we learn things
about each other and decide what we
might do differently to improve how the
organization really works!

duration viz a viz any other
methodology as they experience
and live through the values
