The Collaboration Game is a business simulation designed to raise awareness of the competing priorities and interdependencies facing a typical organisation. In playing the game, team members experience how their individual and collective success is either reinforced or undermined by the way in which they collaborate. They learn that in order to be successful in the game, they must view the business from each other’s perspectives, understand the interdependencies, communicate across functions, collectively resolve issues and make “joined up” decisions. The game challenges many of the assumptions and “certainties” informed by traditional management thinking.

The game is played in multiples of 6 to 8 players with each person responsible for one or more decisions that collectively determine the performance of the team. Several teams can play in competition with each other or in collaboration across a value chain, with each game board representing a division or business unit. It can be used as a practical team building exercise, as part of a leadership or organisational development process or as the context for a company conference
