Feedback on APEX

A highly useful tool for training… I particularly liked that being a board game, rather than a digital game, players sit next to each other physically allowing them to build the fun, friendship and positive camaraderie that comes through experiencing wins and losses together in a non-risk environment.

There are so many facets to APEX – you learn to work in a team, stay focused, mitigate risks, exercise integrity, and most of all, keep your business balanced to achieve great results. And it was so much fun

APEX creates an environment for businesses, but more importantly, individuals to learn …a really good mixture between the long-term strategy of the business and managing the day-to-day…making decisions in an environment where you’re mixing the views of different people, learning listening and verbalization skills, in an amazingly fun environment.

We had fun playing APEX, I think any leadership team will get benefit from it …and I think any player will be surprised at how fun and engaging it is.

APEX provided an engaging, stimulating and fascinating way to explore the complex and dynamic interaction of factors that influence our business decision-making and then affect the outcomes of those decisions. As players, we became conscious of our decision-making processes as well as the factors we could and couldn’t control. Playing APEX also shone a light on how our team interacted and the strengths and weaknesses of that interaction with respect to our business outcomes. I highly recommend the APEX game experience
