"The strategy game created a lot of excitement throughout the company, and we are currently creating a second game in another business unit."
- HR Manager of a large IT Company
Customer:
A large IT company with around 5000 employees in IT, Software and hardware.
The goals of the strategy game:
- Help staff understand the bigger picture "Why are we doing this?"
- Narrow the gap between management and employees
- Create emotional connection to strategic themes
What was the need?
180 managers needed a consistant way to communicate a new strategy to 2000 customer service employees, who knew their own job's targets and goals, but lacked a connection to the bigger picture.
How was it done?
- Seppo and the company created a strategy game which the teamleaders ran through in their team meetings with their staff.
- The game questions concerned the strategy in a fun way.
- The players could contribute and send answers in video, audio, picture and text form through their mobile phones.
What were the results?
- The game helped the team leaders go through the strategy in a structured, and memorable way.
- Combining fun to actual real work situations motivated employees.
- The video clips and material gained from the game was used for company's internal communications needs afterwards.
