SIMULATION OVERVIEW
“Eagle Racing” is an interactive story which confronts the audience with various management dilemmas. Participants follow the key decision-makers for Eagle Racing (a fictitious Racing Company) as they try to sign up a new main sponsor.
With certain intervals the audience must choose the course of action, which will decide the future of Eagle Racing.
The participants make decisions as individuals as well as in teams. For each dilemma the participants vote individually (before and after discussing) and has to agree as teams. Depending on the participants’ choices the story will end with one of eight possible endings, varying from commercial success to total disaster.
The simulation is designed to lure participants into some of the very common pitfalls of collaboration. The experience of failure/imperfection is a trigger to induce some strong learning points and valuable cooperation tools and to fuel discussions and reflections.
The debriefing is built around each of the story’s three main dilemmas:
- Dilemma 1: Which partner to chose?
- Dilemma 2: Race or don’t race?
- Dilemma 3: Full transparency (or hide the most embarrassing facts?)
The dilemmas of Eagle Racing hold many parallels to real corporate life. But the most important learning experience is to reflect on how decisions are often habitually made and what it takes to make good decisions.
