The Risky Business Board Game

An engaging course to experience the multi−year product development process in just half a day, and to sharpen strategic thinking at all levels of an organisation.


The Risky Business Board Game

"We worked with Catenion to provide training and support for a new Portfolio Review System. They introduced us to their Risky Business Game which enabled the whole company to engage in a full day of intensive simulations that mirrored the real life decisions that our company has to take in managing its R&D portfolio. This proved to be an exceptional learning experience for our staff but also one which everyone enjoyed immensely. The Catenion team were extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful in both the preparation and the execution of this very important training event."
