Use this dynamic learning experience to help your team or students demonstrate essential thinking, explore team dynamics, and transition from a siloed to a systems-thinking approach.

This engaging table-top game simulates a 24-hour period where participants manage a hospital on a busy Friday night.  This condensed time period allows participants to see the outcomes of their actions in real-time; the debrief that follows provides an opportunity for shared learning to be expressed, solidifying concepts and new approaches.

Great for team building, leadership development, strategic planning, or an addition to your course.
