Using games to make meetings, workshops and teams more effective
SERIOUS Games Facilitation
“Interactive moments in meetings only work if somebody facilitates them well.” – Julian Kea
Agile Games Facilitation (Vahlen, 2023) by Anne Hoffmann and Julian Kea is the “how” of facilitating serious games. It is not a collection of games. It shows you how to plan, run and debrief a game so that it becomes a deliberate learning and change experience.
Inside
- An eight-step checklist for designing a workshop with games
- Four catalysts: context, focus, participants and facilitation
- The competencies of a good facilitator, and how to handle the unexpected
- Debriefing, with the Serious Games Canvas and #TheDebriefingCube
- How to explain the value of games, even when it is about “being allowed to play”
For coaches, facilitators, moderators and Scrum Masters who want to use games with purpose, guide them with confidence and close them with insight.
