What makes our ITSM training games special?
We carefully design every game area to deliver real value to your organisation.
ITSM - The core of our simulation games
This provides the theme, context, and scenario. All our games are set in the world of IT service management. We make the basics of ITSM easy to understand and relatable, The simulations are firmly routed in familiar, real-world scenarios. From incident handling to continuous improvement, all carefully contextualised and ready to experience.
Graphic content and game pieces
These reinforce the subject of the game and, beyond that, we have ensured that they are consistent across our games. This makes it easy to understand that each game is part of a greater whole and how the various scenarios complement each other.
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.
