CULTURE EATS STRATEGY FOR BREAKFAST
"
Peter Drucker
We're all about fun, seriously.
Peter Drucker was right - culture eats strategy for breakfast, which means that the only way to win is with inspired and motivated employees. That's why we are serious about using game principles to tap into your team’s intrinsic desires and motivations – getting everyone on the playing field, focused on the same goal, and winning, together.
We work with businesses across Australia and the Asia Pacific region to implement game-based management frameworks to create changes in behaviour to achieve real, meaningful outcomes.
Educate. Empower. Engage
We believe that when your team truly understand what's important to the success of the business, when they know how their actions can impact its success, are given the tools to track and measure their progress, and when they're given a reason to care by sharing in success, everybody wins.
"Every game is different, but when you give each person on your team the chance to think, act, and feel like an owner - everybody wins."
Here's our game plan
Design.
No two games are the same, which is why our game plans typically kick off with a 2-day on-site deep dive to thrash out the ins and outs of your business, identify what’s important, and start designing your game around that.
During that time we'll also explore what a self-funded incentive scheme tied to the game might look like, and we'll work with you to user test our thinking with some of your team.
Launch.
Once we've designed a winning game plan for your business, we then help launch the game with your entire team in a fun and interactive way, giving them the tools they need to create a winning edge that will drive your business forward.
Play.
Post-launch we provide ongoing support and input for 6 to 12 months to ensure the game is doing what it's designed to do. We're on call to bounce around your ideas, frustrations, or future plans; continuously challenging you to take your game to the next level.

Self Funded Incentive / Employee Share Ownership Plan Design
Thinking about giving your team some skin in the game? Bonus plans are tricky things to get right, usually because they don’t connect to the long-term behaviour of your team.
