Our Company and Values
Inspired by our founder, Chris Elgood, a pioneer in the design of management games and business simulations.
Driven by our passion for experiential learning.
Our values

Enabling them to conquer business challenges and move forward in a positive manner.
Innovative ideas
To create unique solutions that engage our clients’ management and staff.
Working together
With our clients as one team using the knowledge and expertise from every contributor to develop and deliver an optimum solution.
Passionate about games and simulations
And the benefit they can deliver for clients.
Working with integrity and respect
To build strong relationships with all our stakeholders.
We are passionate about management games and business simulations and the benefits they can deliver for our clients. Evidence shows that participants are more engaged in experiential learning than in traditional teaching methods and therefore the experience, knowledge and skills gained stay with them longer.
Simulations give participants the opportunity to experience the impact of their decision-making in a safe, risk-free environment. When your employees understand how your organisation works and what is needed for it to be successful, they will understand how their actions, decisions and behaviours can contribute to that success. They will feel empowered to make effective decisions to help reach the agreed goals.
Our History
We have been at the cutting edge of the design and facilitation of experimental learning simulations and games since 1972.
That’s 50 years’ worth of experience. We now offer three core services:
- Design service – we work with clients to design a management game or business simulation, either from scratch or by adapting one of our core products.
- Facilitation service – we support clients offering a facilitation service to enable them to cover areas where they have no immediate in-house expertise or where internal resources are in short supply.
- Licencing – we licence our products to like-minded organisations seeking to develop their own client base.
Elgood is managed by Christine Elgood, the daughter of Chris Elgood, author of the original Handbook of Management Games and a pioneer in this field.
Elgood is based in the South East of the United Kingdom. The company serves clients globally and our experience covers a wide range of industries.
