How to book a business game for a team in the Netherlands
For a session in the Netherlands, first confirm whether everyone will be in one room or part of the group will join remotely. Hybrid delivery is confirmed separately because one meeting link alone does not create equal conditions for negotiation, rotating captains and feedback.
Business Life delivers business games in the Netherlands. Confirmed delivery languages are Russian, Ukrainian, English, German and Spanish. We add another language to the programme only after confirming it separately.
A conditional programme for a team in the Netherlands
Objective and roles. Conditional scenario: product, technology and customer functions must assemble one decision from different pieces of data. Participants first test information sharing, then discuss negotiation across teams. This text describes a conditional programme.
Why this game. The primary option is Black Square. Its short rounds show how a team combines fragmented information, rotates captains and adjusts tactics. If the secondary objective becomes more important, choose Edges. The game provides material for a debrief on negotiation, partnerships, risk and commitments.
Session scheme. Example brief: 72 participants, a 2-hour total working slot and English delivery. Objective: reduce information loss in a cross-functional product decision. The confirmed range is 4–150 people and 1.5–2.5 hours, in person or online. Every participant needs an internet-connected smartphone. People see different parts of the task, and a new captain assembles the team answer in each round. The facilitator confirms team allocation and stage boundaries after reviewing the group composition. The session record should show whether the group moved closer to the stated objective: reduce information loss in a cross-functional product decision.
Three debrief questions.
- Whose data reached the decision too late?
- How did the captain’s role change, and which short protocol would help the group decide without another approval round?
- Which action will test the objective “reduce information loss in a cross-functional product decision” in the next relevant work task?
When to change the format
If the objective changes, the confirmed range also includes Right the Helm, Happy City, Incentive Space Simulation and The City for Life. Select them by objective, group size and available time rather than by host country.
A 1–3 hour format often fits a conference module. Motivation or change-management work needs a longer protected slot and a stable participant group. Select online or in-person delivery together with the game; confirm hybrid delivery separately.
What the brief must include
State the date, host city, group size, participant roles, working language, objective and its place in the agenda. Add venue restrictions, access time, internet and smartphone requirements. The base price includes the game, facilitator, materials and props; the game cards show the base prices. Venue, equipment, catering, travel and other logistics are quoted separately. We prepare the final proposal after reviewing the brief, delivery format and logistics.
The game provides observations about decisions and interaction in one situation. It is not a psychometric assessment and does not guarantee a change in workplace behaviour. A useful outcome needs an observation, a defined action and a review date.
