Realistic Dynamic models
Our difference

Our games focus on strategic management (delivering sustained performance over long periods), rather than short-term operations.

"Under the hood" of each game is a dynamic model that mimics all important elements of real-world situations. You can be confident in the realism and learning value of these games, because they are simplified from practical models used by real organisations for real strategic management over many years. They therefore react consistently and realistically to the users decisions.

The rise and fall of a remarkable business phenomenon

In 1981, People Express Airlines was launched and a business legend took off. By 1986 it had a $1 billion annual revenue. Yet by 1986 it was nearly bankrupt, and at the last minute was acquired by Texas Air.

The People Express Management Flight Simulator gives teams the opportunity to find out what went wrong by 'flying' the company themselves.

Dynamics of service firms

Based on a management consultancy firm this game focuses on the special people-challenges faced by professional service organizations, issues that also confront service departments within other companies.

Teams gain valuable insights into important issues common to many service-based situations.

Balancing minimal resources

A simple game showing how feedback amongst customers can drive growth beyond what advertising alone can achieve, and how capacity constraints hold back that growth.

This game demonstrates that balancing resources even with as few as two key resources can be a challenge.
