Frequently Asked Questions
I want to use a business simulation or management game where do I start?
Contact us to set up an initial no obligation meeting over the phone or face to face. We will listen carefully to your requirements and make suggestions as to how we can take your project to the next stage. Following the meeting we will confirm our understanding of your requirement and offer some initial ideas free of charge.
How much will a business simulation or management game cost me?
Every client has specific needs, different participant numbers and varying timescales. We will give you a firm quotation early on in the consultative process, and guarantee that your reusable bespoke simulation will deliver an excellent return on your investment.
What resources will I need to run an Elgood game or simulation?
This depends on the type of simulation you select. For example, participants and/or facilitators may need access to a computer or the web, but in some cases the requirements may be as simple as pen and paper, and a time commitment from each participant.
Can I get help setting up the game or simulation?
When we design a simulation game for you, you are involved in the whole process and will gain a good understanding of how everything works. You can ask us to help facilitate the first event to help you find your feet, run a ‘train the trainer’ session, or provide ongoing facilitation support. If you purchase one of our off the shelf products we will help you to determine the best way to use it, depending on the complexity of the package, we can also provide facilitation assistance.
Is there an off-the-shelf business simulation or management game that would work for me?
If your goals are to develop business acumen, increase commercial awareness, promote teamwork and enhance decision-making skills, take a closer look at the Way Forward and Lawn Trimmers.
The Way Forward is a fast-moving and challenging business simulation delivering valuable insight into the mechanics of running a business. Developed by us to expose participants to the diverse pressures and challenges of the competitive commercial environment, the simulation tests players over a series of ‘half years’ as they make commercial, cultural and strategic decisions which will make the difference between success and failure. Teams are pitted against each other and strive to achieve the highest share price as the game develops.
Lawn Trimmers is also set in the business world but with a different focus. Participants have to assess the market and set up a factory based on their assessment of market demand and competition. Their objective is to achieve the best return on capital employed by balancing their initial investment with market demand and correctly identifying which of the commercial decisions they can make will attract the highest number of customers.
We offer both these simulations with facilitation either face to face or using a virtual medium.
Do I need to employ a consultant to use an Elgood game or simulation?
Many of our games and simulations can be used by a competent manager who has, themselves, benefited from management training. They can be used by trainers working for an organisation or on a freelance basis to reinforce ideas included in their own training materials. If we believe facilitation assistance might be useful, for example for some of our business simulations, we provide this service.
I run my own training courses can I use Elgood products to support the courses I offer my clients?
Yes, we work with a number of Partner organisations who incorporate our products within their own branded courses and development activities. There is more information about working with us here.
