This game is intended to encourage co-operation the Brief states that it is the two teams’ combined score that counts. But will each team embrace the fact that they are not competing with each other? (Frequently, they don’t – and yet it is clear that supportive communication between the two camps is essential in order to gain the maximum score possible!). 

Decisions Decisions: An interactive and engaging team and decision-making business game that challenges groups to solve problems by consensus, under time pressure and on a budget! 

This optional day looks at Decision Making and the consequences of making bad and good decisions. It also focuses on Customer Satisfaction vs. Business Profit.

The team is separated into groups of four or five members. Now representing the management team of a tour company, they are presented with a series of issues and problems to solve. They debate the given options mindful that spending money on a problem may increase customer satisfaction but reduce profits, while going for the cheap option may well mean a loss of customer satisfaction.They enter their decision into a computer using a secret team code, the customer service score and profit balance is then printed along with the next problem. 

After working through a series of problems and challenges each team receives their final report, which reveals the effects of their decisions on customer satisfaction and the repeat business prospects. The debriefing will be tailored to the objectives you wish to achieve.
