You are such nerds’ is something we’ve heard a few times when showing people the prototype. At that point, we have to agree. But still, we have a mission: to introduce what EDGY is all about in a simple and fun way. PowerPoints, sales pitches, and webinars aren\u2019t exactly ‘fun fun.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a prototype.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So far, we\u2019ve created a board, various cards, and tokens. We also have a couple of games that people can play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction to EDGY \u2013 The CEO game<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re new to the concept, no worries! The first game is about convincing the CEO of your brilliant ideas. One player will be selected as the CEO and will award points to the other players. Each turn, you draw a card with a topic like process, purpose, or organization. The best idea wins the point. But be careful\u2014every new idea needs to fit within the whole system. In about 45 minutes, the game ends, and the player with the most points wins!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can make the game as serious or as goofy as you want. If you enjoy Cards Against Humanity<\/em>, go ahead and embrace the chaos to create something completely out of this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to recreate your enterprise? Go for it! Maybe just give the role of CEO to the real CEO. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EDGY Advanced \u2013 The shareholders game<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re up for a bigger challenge and are more competitive, this game might be for you. Up to six players can participate. You choose a facet or an intersection to start. Roll the dice to move from one element to another. Each time you cross an element, you must add a new idea to the board. It has to fit with the rest of the enterprise, or the other stakeholders will give you a strike. After three strikes, you\u2019re out! Since there are multiple paths from one element to another, you\u2019ll want to choose carefully. As the game evolves, it will become harder to manage the complexity. The game ends when only one stakeholder is left standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a fun job, but it\u2019s still a job.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We honestly had a lot of laughs while testing these games, and we hope you will too. Even though the gaming part might be fun, what\u2019s behind it is very important\u2014understanding one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By helping people understand what an enterprise is and encouraging these conversations, we aim to give people new perspectives. We want people to share their vision, understand their impact, and realize that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal is to help you create better enterprises.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
