SV: Role playing games for business & environment?

  • 1.  SV: Role playing games for business & environment?

    Posted 12-19-2013 03:06

    I've used WBCSD, IUCN, and WRI's "Buy!Sell!Trade!" game with success in a number of instances. With students in planning/management, business studies, environmental engineering.

    http://www.wbcsd.org/Pages/EDocument/EDocumentDetails.aspx?ID=24&NoSearchContextKey=true

     

    On WBCSD's homepage, you can find more info on how some companies have used the game, e.g. Holcim: http://www.wbcsd.org/Pages/EDocument/EDocumentDetails.aspx?ID=24&NoSearchContextKey=true

     

    We've developed a couple of our own as well:

    Broken Cities, on climate change planning (mitigation & adaptation); and 'Gone with the wind', an impact assessment & strategy game.

    Both are open source and can be downloaded here http://www.klimalab.dk/#!broken-cities/c20w6 and here http://www.klimalab.dk/#!gone-with-the-wind/c1194

    'Broken cities' is available in a box-set as well.

     

    If you would like further info on the games, and how we've used and adapted them, just shoot me an email or call.

    Here is one

     

    Case (Field)

     

    Block 16: Conoco's "Green" Oil Strategy (A)

    by Malcolm S. Salter, Susan E.A. Hall

    Source: Harvard Business School

     

    16 pages. Publication Date: Jul 21, 1993. Prod. #: 394001-PDF-ENG

     

    Conoco's attempted to win an oil development contract in Ecuador's tropical rain forest. The case discusses government perspectives, environmental perspectives, and indigenous people's perspectives. Allows role playing in a "negotiating forum" set up by Conoco to get their developing plan in the various interest groups. This oil development contract is key to Conoco's Latin American E&D strategy.
