Agile Through Simulation
Experience flow, bottlenecks, and coordination problems in a simulation. Leave with a working agreement for better collaboration.
Full detailsWhat We Offer
Four workshops.
One philosophy.
Everything we do is built on the same idea: people learn best when they experience the problem first. Each workshop runs four hours and ends with something concrete your team can use on Monday.
The workshops
Pick your starting point.
Practical AI Literacy for Teams
Understand what AI can and cannot do. Identify safe use cases. Leave with a first team agreement for responsible AI use.
Full detailsResearch Reporting Automation
Map your manual reporting process, find the repetitive steps, and design a first roadmap toward reports you can actually reproduce.
Full detailsSimulations and Games
Serious games and custom digital simulations built on game theory and blended learning. From the Beer Game to fully bespoke environments.

01 / Agile Through Simulation
Learn agile
Learn agile
by playing it first
Most agile adoptions fail before they start. Not because agile is wrong, but because you cannot get buy-in from a presentation. We start with a simulation that makes people feel the problem, then translate that experience into a practical working agreement.
The simulation
Participants experience flow problems, bottlenecks, and coordination failures before they hear a single framework term. That experience is what makes everything else land.
The debrief
The group connects what they felt in the simulation to how their own work actually moves. Bottlenecks get named. Priorities get questioned. Handovers get examined.
The output
A first working agreement. Could be a WIP limit, a clearer priority rule, a workflow board, or a simple retrospective format. Something real they can use on Monday.

Practical AI Literacy
Practical AI Literacy
for Teams
AI is already in your team's daily work. Some people use it confidently. Some use it carelessly. Some avoid it completely. Nobody has a shared agreement. This workshop changes that.
The EU AI Act (Article 4, in force from 2 February 2025) requires organizations to ensure a sufficient level of AI literacy among staff. This workshop supports that obligation, in plain language, with a concrete team output. Not a legal audit. Not a prompt-engineering course. A practical session that ends with something your team can actually use.
What the session covers
- ✓ What generative AI can and cannot do
- ✓ Why AI output can sound convincing but still be wrong
- ✓ Hallucinations, privacy risks, bias, and accountability gaps
- ✓ Sorting real work tasks into useful, risky, and unsuitable
- ✓ Building a first team AI working agreement
What you walk away with
- → A shared language for talking about AI in your team
- → A mapped list of useful and risky AI use cases for your work
- → A responsible AI checklist specific to your team
- → A first working agreement for AI use
"We understand the basics, we know where AI can help, we know where to be careful, and we have a first agreement for using it responsibly."
That is what success looks like. Not an AI certification. A working agreement your team actually uses.

Research Reporting
Research Reporting
Automation
From manual reporting to repeatable reports.
Many teams spend hours rebuilding the same reports. Manual copy-paste, fragile Excel files, inconsistent templates, and individual knowledge that disappears when one person is away. This workshop helps you understand why, and what to change first.
The session in three steps
01
Map your current reporting process: where does time go, where do errors enter, which steps repeat every cycle?
02
Redesign the process into a cleaner workflow with structured input, reusable templates, and consistent outputs.
03
Mark which steps could later be automated with tools such as Quarto, Excel, Python, R, or Power BI.
What you walk away with
- → A reporting workflow map showing where time is lost
- → A list of manual and repetitive steps in your current process
- → A cleaner process design for more reproducible output
- → A first automation roadmap showing where to start
For researchers, lecturers, analysts, finance teams, operations teams, and project teams who produce recurring reports manually.
"We finally understand why reporting takes so much time, and we know which part to standardize or automate first."
That is the goal. Not a programming course. Not a promise to fix every spreadsheet. A clear first step.
03 / Simulations and Games
Play your way to
Play your way to
better decisions
Serious games are the fastest way to teach complex systems. We design and run games that reveal how your organisation really works, built on game theory, the conscious competence model, and blended learning principles.
Classic Serious Games
The Beer Game, supply chain simulations, and other proven formats that teach systems thinking in hours, not weeks.
Digital Simulations
Custom-built digital environments like Value Chain Hackers, where teams make real-time decisions and see systemic consequences unfold.
Custom Game Design
We design new serious games around your specific system, challenge, or learning objective. Your context, your game.
Common questions
Frequently asked
What types of organisations do you work with?
We work with educational institutions, researchers, SMEs, operations teams, project teams, and public sector organisations. Anyone who wants to learn by doing and leave with a concrete output is a good fit.
Do I need a technical background?
No. All workshops are designed for mixed groups without technical backgrounds. The goal is shared understanding and a practical output, not technical skill. The Agile workshop, the AI literacy session, and the reporting workshop all work for non-specialists.
How long does a workshop take?
Each workshop runs four hours including introductions and breaks. A single serious game session can run half a day. Longer programs and follow-up consulting are available as separate scoped engagements. We scope every engagement in a free discovery call before any commitment.
Can I combine workshops?
Yes, and it often makes sense. A common combination is the AI Literacy workshop followed by the Reporting Automation session for research teams. Another is the Agile workshop followed by a custom serious game that tests the team's new working agreement. We can design whatever combination fits your context.
Do you work internationally?
Yes. We are based in the Netherlands and deliver in-person, virtual, and blended formats globally.
