Testimonials

"What struck me most was the effectiveness of the strategy game. There was a marked shift in the positions of several players over the course of the game as scenarios and conversations evolved. In the post-game discussions it was apparent that the gaming encouraged reflection on motivations and actions taken during the game and what counterfactual scenarios could have been pursued."

“Playing the palm oil game was a real eye-opener for me. It became clear that it is so easy to get the perspective of a small-small holder very fast, like it would for every role one plays. Playing such a game can achieve a lot of understanding of different perspectives in a short time.”

“In the beginning the game was just a game to me, but further into the dynamics, I suddenly realised that actually it represents the reality, and it was then when I realised how useful it is to talk and learn about the challenges we face in our supply chain.”
