Aphorme develops and applies simulations, games, and associated methodologies in its consultancy activities. Game-based simulations combine key elements of reality with a competitive, rule-governed process. These simulations can be time-based and structured around competition and rules, with a classic example being Monopolyยฎ.Depending on the chosen type and complexity, simulations may last several days or just a few hours, involve a game board or specific materials, and be successfully applied in other organizational contexts or specially designed for the company hosting the simulation.Aphorme uses Gaming Simulations both as an experiential learning method and as an organizational intervention tool.
As an intervention method in organizations, simulations have an extremely broad applicability, adaptable to almost any aspect of organizational reality. They also offer a low-risk environment for decision-making and testing methods or actions that, in a real organizational setting, could be costly or cause significant damage.
Their effectiveness as learning tools has been validated theoretically through numerous studies and practically through their increasing use in professional training and academic programs.This service category includes both the design and implementation of simulations, games, and exercises aimed at experiential learning.
