Driving strategic initiatives

Gamechangers®

The success of any large-scale strategic initiative depends on getting stakeholders fully on board. Gamechangers® helps leaders and managers strengthen their ability to engage stakeholders effectively, using real-life cases, simulations, and group reflection.

Participants will sharpen their skills in navigating complex stakeholder landscapes, learning how to build the support needed to drive strategic initiatives forward.

Why Gamechangers®?

A game about strategy activation

Driving strategic initiatives is like navigating a complex journey, where success depends on aligning the right resources, overcoming roadblocks, and keeping everyone moving toward the same destination.

Here are three ways Gamechangers® helps with this:

Stakeholder alignment

Gamechangers® helps leaders understand the personal motives and influence of key stakeholders to gain their support.

Collaborative learning

Gamechangers® encourages teamwork, allowing leaders to share experiences and learn from each other, both in the game and back in the organisation.

Building the right support

Leaders learn when and how to involve the right people, using simulations to uncover important relationships and build strong coalitions.

Stakeholder engagement is crucial

Stakeholder buy-in can make or break any large-scale strategic initiative. Whether you’re implementing LEAN, adopting new technology, or expanding into new markets, engaging internal stakeholders is critical.

That’s where Gamechangers® comes in. This interactive game trains leaders to effectively manage stakeholder engagement, helping them navigate the human side of strategy and ensuring smoother execution of their initiatives.

What's in it for them?

Stakeholders are not just names on a chart—they are individuals with influence, personal agendas, networks, and motives. Their primary concern is often: “What’s in it for me?” Gamechangers® trains you to build support within this complex stakeholder landscape.

Through the simulation, you’ll map out stakeholders, uncover informal mandates, and identify key relationships. Knowing who to involve and when is critical, as your negotiation and people skills will determine whether your strategy moves forward or stalls.

Collaboration is key

Gamechangers® is all about collaboration. We believe that knowledge sharing is key to effective learning, which is why our training brings leaders and managers together to share perspectives and work as a team.

While the simulation presents valuable dilemmas, much of the learning comes from uncovering the collective knowledge and experiences of the participants. By working together, they not only overcome the challenges in the game but also gain insights they can apply back in their organisations.
