Managing a business and Project Management
    are key learning points of this training activity.
    A challenging and interesting business game.

This business game simulates project management where the objective is to keep projects in profit by effective utilisation of limited resources.

Main Concept
Taking Stock is a tabletop board game involving simulation of project management, with two main themes.

Firstly, as individuals, participants must comprehend that utilising resources to their full potential and maximising returns is essential to project management.

Secondly, whilst not contradicting the first theme, awareness of the ‘bigger picture’ is developed, particularly understanding in interdependence and the contribution they could make to the organisation as a whole.

Taking Stock develops dialogue between individual managers and a wider organisation, underlining the reciprocal nature of a working environment.

Individual Project Managers have responsibility for the success of their own project but must also be aware of the contribution it makes to the larger organisation. In particular, negotiations between departments and the ability to assess aspects of a business that are no longer viable are key parts of the game.

Suitable Applications

• Project management
• Working as a team
• Interpersonal skills
• Persuasiveness
• Personal style/impact
• Strategic thinking
• Commercial judgement
• Big picture versus project objectives.
  

Taking Stock also explores the need for strategic thinking and commercial judgement by promoting interaction between an organisation’s constituent parts. Additionally, Taking Stock:

• Enables participants to improve negotiation skills, key to project management
• Is applicable to differing management styles
• Leads to a development of skills in versatile environments.
