Why Games?
increasing complexity demandsnon-linear business practices demands businesses that can rapidly adapt
to changing information environmentshelp teams deal with complexity
energize the participants and ignite their emotions, they engage thewhole person – a necessary element if you want insightful, creative results
game space reduces fear by suspending reality, creating a contextwithin which it’s safe to play; where risk is something to explore and not to fear
provide mechanisms for interaction and creative collaboration:multiparty, participatory, interdisciplinary work
games can be designed very quickly,ad-hoc, to deal with situations as they arise
