“𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗼 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲”

4/9/26

Yesterday I had one of those conversations that makes me excited about the future of workplace culture training.

I was speaking with a leader from a union who is interested in bringing the 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲® to their organization. But the conversation quickly moved beyond simply purchasing the game.

Because 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗵𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗲 “𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆” 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. They asked about customization.  I’ve been offering that option so it was an easy conversation to jump into.

Another recent organization wants to give the game as a gift to its clients. That beats any pen or mug hands-down.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽.  What if some of the cards reflected the real situations their members deal with every day?

What if certain discussion prompts were slightly adjusted so the language matched their organization?

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘅 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗼 — 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺?

Suddenly the game becomes more than a training activity.

It becomes their organization’s culture tool.

When employees see their organization’s branding on something designed to strengthen communication and leadership, it sends a clear message: culture isn’t an afterthought. It’s something leadership is actively investing in.

Customization can include things like:

• 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁𝘀
• 𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀
• 𝗔 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗼 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘅 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
• 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

Most importantly, the conversations that come from the game don’t end when the session is over.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲®, the goal isn’t just discussion. Teams identify real workplace issues and we translate those insights into 3 to 5 actionable goals that will positively affect your culture. These might include new communication practices, internal initiatives, or leadership commitments that move the culture forward.

In other words, it creates outcomes.

For unions, companies, associations, and leadership teams, it raises an interesting question:

What would it look like if your organization had its own customized company culture game?

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗼 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘅.

A culture tool built specifically for the people who make your organization work.
