Explore - Inspire - Transform
We bring real life issues to the universe of gaming, as a way to address the challenges faced by our clients. Through playing, our clients and their partners/stakeholders have the opportunity to explore alternative realities. Combined with facilitation, this exploration fosters communication and inspires stakeholders to transform their strategies/decision making in the real world.
Wicked problems involve multiple stakeholders, that all disagree on what the problem is. They have conflicting agendas, there is uncertainty at many levels, opposing worldviews. These problems cannot be solved, no matter what amount of money one throws at them. They can only be addressed and most of us don’t know how…
What we do
We support our clients develop strategies and assist transformative change through the association of facilitation techniques and the use of strategy games relevant to the problems they face.
We are a team of skilled experts with transdisciplinary backgrounds and intercultural experience. We believe that engaging stakeholders and fostering dialogue is critical to find lasting solutions. Through skilled facilitation and strategy (system science) games, we empower our clients and help them make better decision.

What people say

I have seen examples where stakeholders have come out of such a game and realise: I have not understood how my practices might hurt the other, because we don't have a space to dialogue, we are too busy, we don't look at each other.”
