Game-based learning for the modern professional
Board Games are Serious Business
From Board Games to the Boardroom is all about teaching critical business skills like strategy, negotiation, operations, and risk management, through the lens of modern board games. Most business books tell you what to do, but rarely give you a safe, repeatable way to practice. That's where board games come in. They're not just fun, they're powerful simulations that let you test and refine real-world skills in a low-stakes, high-feedback environment.
A New Way to Learn Business
Board games are a uniquely powerful modality for learning business skills because they combine simulation, feedback, and engagement in a way few other tools can match. Unlike abstract case studies or passive lectures, board games immerse players in systems that mirror real-world business dynamics—scarcity, trade-offs, competition, collaboration, and uncertainty. Players make decisions with limited information, respond to shifting circumstances, negotiate for resources, and manage risk—core experiences that closely reflect the challenges faced in business environments. This kind of experiential learning allows players to internalize complex concepts through direct participation and consequence, not just theory.
