Mission

Game-changing insight is dedicated to helping develop and spread ITSM skills throughout organisations, through interactive ITSM training games. We provide an engaging and effective educational experience to corporate teams and educational institutions, helping them develop team building skills, common vision, and a contextualised understanding of IT service management.

Approach

Our unique games are designed to challenge players to think strategically, holistically, and creatively, whilst providing a comprehensive interactive learning experience that brings knowledge to life. This approach allows team members to gain insight into real-world IT service management scenarios with a focus on the key success factors of Value creation, Cost control, and Reliability.

Provides a basis for transformation, providing an effective communications bridge between your service management SME's and the organisation as a whole.

Active elements of the board games

The active elements represent the items with which you directly interact in the game. These are the items you are trying to control, plan, or manage such as incidents, capacity, improvements, integrations, and resources. These are direct representations of real-world elements and, where possible, we strive to use ITIL terminology and definition.

The game rules

The rules define the player behaviour and, by extension, reflect a corporate culture.

Our game rules support a generalised corporate culture based on:

  • value-driven, holistic mindset

  • holistic, strategic thinking

  • creative experimentation

  • agile, incremental improvement

  • personal interaction

If required, the rules can be adapted to vary the required behaviour to better align with a specific corporate culture.

The winning conditions

The winning conditions, encapsulate what it takes to succeed. The vision of success within a game aligns with practical success in the real-world. As with the rules, these can be modified to reflect a specific goal for a given session.

The players

Last but by no means least are the players themselves. The games encourage the development of many soft skills including communication, negotiation, planning, team-work, adaptability, and more.

Soft skills represented as a stack of building blocks with each block representing a different skill; Emotional inteligence, analtytical and critical thinking, decision making, collaboration, complex problem solving, persuasion, creativity, communication, and adaptability
