Be the greatest paperclip tycoon of all time. Work together and save the world.
After a warmup and some instructions we split the team into smaller groups of five. Your task is to become the greatest paperclip tycoon of all time. Produce paperclips by working together in a browser based management game. Each team elects a coordinator, this person is responsible for the communication between productions. The other participants manage each one production facility, organize resources and learn new production techniques. In order to learn from each other in the best possible way, the team needs to share their knowledge and experience. Decide on investments and grow your company to a paperclip giga factory. Your ultimate goal is to cure cancer, create world peace and produce 100 million paperclips. Elon would be proud of you.
To participate your teammates require a laptop/computer, a webcam, a microphone and of course a stable internet connection. Even if there is the possibility to join using tablet or mobile device, it is not recommended as we are limited by function.
The browser-based game is an award-winning concept that stands out for its fun gameplay. Through our adaptation and extension as a team game, it gets a strong focus on leadership and communication training in the aspect of remote teamwork.
Managers and employees learn about the significance and effects of information asymmetries through their own experience. The teams intuitively develop solutions to avoid them. Very often, these solutions can then be transformed into everyday work.
