Case Study – How our corporate game instilled a sense of accountability, unleashed proactivity and Initiative

Client

    • International corporation, corporate services industry
    • Participants: employees from several different departments
    • Group: 55 people

      • Objectives

      The client was looking for a solution that would align with the company’s strategy of building a culture of accountability. The goal was to shape an attitude of shared responsibility for project success, independent thinking and action, as well as curiosity and willingness to ask questions, and taking initiative.

      The employees selected for the program had already attended many training sessions and were now expecting a different, interesting, and inspiring development tool. Since these are very busy people, it was important that the learning event was short enough to let them get back to work the same day, while still being fully effective.

      Solution

        • Cosmos 4000. Mission to Avalon corporate game
        • Group divided into 10 teams
        • Duration: 4 hours (including the debrief)
        • Format: in-person (conference room)
        • Language: English

        Uczestnicy pracowali w 10 zespołach (załogach statków Defender 4). Sukces misji kosmicznej zależał od przejęcia pełnej odpowiedzialności za projekt. Od zrozumienia oczekiwań, celów i priorytetów, poprzez autonomiczne działania w środowisku niepewności i zagrożeń, aż do kreatywnych rozwiązań pojawiających się problemów. Zespoły, które przyjęły taką postawę, osiągnęły najlepsze wyniki.
