Case study
PowerTrade
A strategic team game simulating the energy market and the impact of decisions
Challenge
The existing Excel simulator was turned into a team-based game, where each group's outcome influenced the market and pushed everyone to think more strategically.
Solution
We built a multi-user web platform to simulate scenarios, test strategies and show how each decision changed market behaviour for the other teams.
What the platform enabled
- Simulating market scenarios in a competitive setting between teams
- Testing strategies across teams, countries and departments
- Comparing the impact of decisions clearly and immediately
- Giving teams a global view of the market and the consequences of their choices
Results
- Helped teams better understand the impact of their decisions on the market
- Made it easier to run games between teams from different countries and departments
- Made the experience clearer, more engaging and easier to follow
- Greater effectiveness in analysing and discussing scenarios
- Better prepared teams for making decisions with a global view
Description
The system let different participants play in teams, simulate market decisions and analyse their effects on overall market behaviour.
Each team could test strategies and see how its results influenced the others.
It has been used for games between several countries, for presentations at universities and, above all, to help people from different departments gain a more global view of the impact of the various decisions.
