ORGsimONE business simulation game
The simulation of business/change processes and organizational dynamics.

In their roles as "managers" or "employees" of a fictitious company, the game participants take on roles, use their discretion and interpret, affirm or modify given structures. Fundamental processes of influence, creative design, motivation, leadership and structuring in social systems are experienced. Although ORGsimONE depicts a manufacturing company, the learning experiences are also relevant for other types of organizations. The game consists of several rounds in which the participants take turns acting out the different roles of "senior manager", "middle manager" or "employee" in a fictitious organization, using their discretion and interpreting, affirming or modifying given structures.

ewentualnie: "business simulation"

Customer Need

Peikko organizes an annual meeting for its global management teams and this year Peikko’s CEO Topi Paananen wanted to engage his management with a business simulation that would illustrate Peikko’s challenges in a fun and effective way within a day-and-a-half time span.
Cesim Use
The process started with a meeting between Topi Paananen and Cesim’s team where the initial idea for the Peikko case was established. Cesim’s general management simulation SimFirm was used as a base for Peikko’s adapted version due to its versatility and modifiability. Later, Topi and his CFO Jukka Turva wrote the case description for Beicco Ltd, a fictitious company that resembles Peikko Group’s current operating environment and challenges and allows the participants to operate the simulation in a suitably realistic content.
