Solution and Board Game Overview
Dough to Door is an experiential learning game designed to turbocharge creativity, foster collaboration, and hone group decision-making skills. With a focus on the SCAMPER technique for idea generation, participants are thrust into the dynamic world of pizza delivery, where players navigate four crucial departments: Marketing, Preparation, Packaging, and Service.
Each department is tasked with innovating its processes using the SCAMPER methodology. But here’s the twist: every innovation sends ripples downstream, with both positive and negative consequences. It’s a balancing act where teams must collaborate effectively to enhance processes and products while safeguarding Time, Cost, and Quality benchmarks.
In essence, Dough to Door isn’t just about playing a game; it’s about mastering the art of innovation, teamwork, and strategic thinking in a fast-paced, engaging environment.
