Powered by collaboration
The Strategic Orbits Exercise (SOE) is a powerful and proven decision-making and planning system that can be applied with real teams on real business challenges, in real time. The design is based on over 50 years of experience of the co-founders, drawing from crisis wargaming and serious gaming, emergency response, action learning, social and behavioural psychology.
Empowering
The Strategic Orbits Exercise is designed to facilitate strategic thinking and decision-making. It empowers individuals and teams to navigate relationships, understand diverse perspectives, and develop innovative solutions, leaving them more prepared for uncertainty and more resilient to change.
Insightful
Through the Strategic Orbits Exercise, participants are encouraged to visualise and work with relationships in 3D, which empowers them to navigate the complex systems and relationships with which they operate more effectively.
Results-oriented
The Strategic Orbits Exercise raises awareness of hidden diversity and its impact on workplace interactions. The exercise improves communication and collaboration within teams, fostering personal growth, leadership development, and organisational change.
