Business games & business simulations: Linkxs

Game of collaboration

The game of collaboration, assistance, competition and conflict
More and more individuals and teams within an organisation are given the space to organise their work independently. Which is not always easy. Not only do tasks have to be carried out, they have to be planned and managed. In constructions like these, people communicate with each other on a much more intense level, especially when it comes to situations with divergent interests: unnecessary competition, confrontation and even conflicts can lie in wait. 

What does Linkxs do?

The Linkxs game was specially designed to allow groups to practice self-organization, communication and collaboration. First the game holds up a mirror to participants by inciting and making recognizable latent negative behaviour. Subsequently, the team begins a search in order to complete the game successfully. The discoveries made comprise valuable tips for the day to day routine which allows the game to function not only as a mirror, but also as a window onto more efficient behaviour.

People who play Linkxs often discover that they have deep-seated ideas and opinions about collaboration which have an enormous influence on their daily work. Most are barely aware of these influences and they are not normally discussed. Linkxs offers concrete keystones for constructively analyzing the all-round collaboration of a team and clearing away blockages where necessary.

For who?

Linkxs is about attitude and skill and can be played by target groups of divergent educational and work levels. It is however important that participants collaborate with each other in the game as in real life.
The game may be utilised at various moments, for example as part of a larger program, but it also lends itself well to being played by groups as an eye-opener in its own right.
