Bridgebuilders® - Global team leadership
Why Bridgebuilders®?

A game about leading diverse teams on a global scale

The upside of distributed teams is flexibility and agility. The downside is the risk of incoherent teams and performance plummeting. Bridgebuilders® helps you steer clear of the pitfalls.

Here's how:

Master leadership skills

It provides a hands-on environment where professionals can develop and refine key leadership abilities essential for managing distributed teams.

Balance alignment and autonomy

Learn how to strike the right balance between guiding your team with clear objectives while empowering individuals with the autonomy they need to thrive.

Real-world application

The game offers practical scenarios that simulate the challenges of leading distributed teams, preparing you to navigate them effectively in the workplace.

A global workspace

Distributed teams are transforming the global workplace, bringing new challenges for the leaders who manage them.

Whether expanding into emerging markets, operating globally, or navigating a matrix structure, leaders must adapt to managing across distances. While distributed teams offer flexibility and agility, they also risk losing cohesion and performance. Bridgebuilders® helps you avoid these pitfalls and keep your teams on track.

Being present from a distance

Technology may bring us closer, but it can’t do everything. As a leader of distributed, diverse teams, you still need to build trust, motivation, and autonomy across distances.

Bridgebuilders® helps you enhance your ability to build strong, high-performing teams. You’ll learn to navigate roadblocks that disrupt team dynamics by addressing the unique personal and cultural needs of each team member.

Getting your priorities straight

Leadership is all about timing and prioritizing the right actions. Bridgebuilders® guides you in identifying what’s urgent when a team is forming and how to support their performance down the road, while also strengthening relationships with local stakeholders.

In the simulation, you’ll track your team’s deliverables, which reflect the impact of your leadership. You’ll also have the chance to explore different choices and outcomes, helping you refine your decision-making for real-life situations. The goal isn’t to win the simulation, but to reflect and improve your leadership approach.
