A Complex World Requires Experiential Learning

A high-performing circular value chain requires collaboration from across the organization. Adopting a circular approach from a take-make-dispose linear production can be a serious challenge. How do you adapt to the circular economy? Ideally, you’d like to experiment with different scenarios wherein people learn to overcome various obstacles and learn from best practices. This is where we come in: through our business simulation games, participants have the unique opportunity to learn by experience by immediately putting complex theories into practice.
