Simulation & Teambuilding

Simulation is learning through play. We play a game with your team or department - a game that simulates reality.

Through the game, you learn what optimal processes mean, how to make the right decisions and optimize the organization. All in a "safe environment".

At the same time, it's fantastic team building! Something you will refer back to for a long time afterwards. Download our product catalog or read more below.

Simulation games

In our simulation games you overcome common challenges together with your gaming team

MetierWestergaard's simulation games brings the challenges of everyday life into a formula and caricatures. As a team or department, you get a common revelation on how improvements can be made and what is difficult. It's hands-on learning!

Traditional education is based on teaching, exams and certificates. It is good and important, and creates the basic skills needed to fulfill given roles with associated responsibilities. In combination with traditional training, simulation games, also called gaming, are powerful and educational, as they create the opportunity to put theory into practice and learn from different situations. And then it is often easier to talk about what is difficult when it is an imagined reality - and not the concrete situation in one's own organization.

Simulation games thus promote understanding and depth of learning, because you experience things yourself. Instead of telling what is right and wrong, the instructor acts as a facilitator for the participants' own experiences – in other words, it is very intensive learning that takes place over a short period of time.

Our instructors are certified Game Leaders, and they ensure value-creating facilitation and an optimal benefit.

Simulation games can be used in both small and large teams, across the organization, and can simultaneously function as team building, as it is both educational and fun. Most often, it takes a day to complete the games with several game rounds and learning along the way. However, we have some games that can be completed faster.

With simulation games, the focus is on issues that can be adapted to a very specific challenge in your company.

For example:

  • Efficient and dynamic processes
  • Better documentation and knowledge sharing
  • To create common ground before starting a project or program
  • To work with team building under realistic conditions
  • To increase motivation prior to implementing changes in the organization
  • To improve communication and collaboration in the department or project
  • To improve communication and cooperation between IT, the business and other departments and external partners

… then we definitely have a simulation game that can solve the task.

Our simulation game covers various professional areas that embrace topics within Agile & SAFe®, IT Service Management & ITIL®, Project Management & PRINCE2®, DevOps, etc.

We are always ready for a discussion about your needs and which simulation game is most optimal to support your specific purpose.
