Preparation is key when it comes to your business 🔑

Whether that's preparing your team to deal with specific scenarios, preparing the health and safety plans for your business or personally preparing yourself as a leader.

During a business or team crisis, you may feel like there's no time for games...
Let us show you otherwise 👇

Experimentation with ideas allows you to think ahead towards the future, rather than battling business as usual 💡

Experiments allow organisations to get past assumptions and the human tendency towards groupthink 👥

The bigger and more complex a team, the more important it is for them to practice together and to develop shared understanding if they are to be successful 🙌

Organisations with complicated plans need to rehearse, but by running an exercise designed to particularly highlight and practice the more difficult moments, so much more can be achieved 📋

Health and safety requirements can be a challenge to handle for a business ⚠️

One of the ways in which games and exercises can have the most significant impact on organisations is in the area of developing resilience 🛡️

This is particularly relevant to teams facing change and trying to cope with uncertainty 🙇

We can work directly with your business on developing resilience through a number of approaches. Find out more on our website:

A red team is a group of people who help an organisation to:

Incidents come in a variety of categories...

Some involve immediate, physical danger; floods, fire and violence 🔥

And others will focus less on urgency, perhaps on circumstances with potential impacts and consequences of action 🧑‍💻

Change is uncomfortable, unbalancing and can be seriously stressful...

Most of us prefer what’s familiar and enjoy predictable routines to the uncertainty of something new, especially at work 💼

If you're trying to deliver changes in your organisation, you may be faced with the challenge of convincing your team in the 'need' for change 🤯

Here at Evocatus we focus on making sure people understand the 'why' of change before the 'how'. We use games to build consent 🎲💡

positions can be tough, often making difficult decisions and managing large teams.

It's OK to admit that you might need some additional from time to time. It often takes a great leader to recognise that in themselves.
