Don’t take our word for it, a recent Harvard Business School piece focuses on the correlation between employee creativity and a company’s success.

The challenges that customers and organizations alike in Austin are dealing with are evolving just as quickly. It takes a cohesive, creative team to adapt to these market conditions and keep you ahead of the competition. You’ve got deadlines to meet, sprints coming up and quarterly revenue goals to achieve.

SpyGame is one of our most popular games for good reason. It begins with what appears to be a normal meeting and then the employees turn on the television. On the screen is a video message from their boss who’s been kidnapped by a criminal syndicate. Teams are assembled and your staff must work together to walk around the city and gather intel in order to free their boss. Then, in the middle of the game – just when the teams think they have a handle on the situation: the teams are alerted to the presence of a mole. Rooting out the mole while continuing to progress towards the goal is a world class lesson in both strategy and trust.
