How Video Games Can Enhance Your Transformation Project

Supply chain professionals are drawing inspiration from world-class teams playing online video games


In today’s fast-paced and unpredictable supply chain environment, supply chain leaders face greater challenges than ever. Supply chains are undergoing a digital transformation, yet they must continue to operate during these changes. Customers and regulators have higher demands, seeking greater visibility into how a supply chain operates, including environmental and labor practices. Customers are increasingly demanding full transparency and visibility as part of their brand loyalty and satisfaction.

Supply chain resiliency. Multi-cultural and multi-generational project teams. Project teams that include your employees and those of your suppliers.

Supply chain leaders need to create high-performing and horizontally integrated teams to succeed in today’s environment. Multi-player video games show us a path to the future of change management, providing lessons for navigating the digital era.

Why multi-player video games

Two and one-half years ago, the Digital Supply Chain Institute (DSCI) embarked on reimaging change management for the digital era, drawing inspiration from world-class teams playing online video games. The collaborative dynamics and rapid problem-solving to achieve a well-defined goal were eye-opening, sparking the question: Could video games offer more than just entertainment, unlocking new paradigms in change management, particularly with the influx of individuals into the workforce who grew up with video games and smartphones?
 
Multi-player video games share many common realities with the digital transformation of supply chains, requiring adaptability, continual learning, and rapid identification and utilization of collective strengths. Success in both realms hinges on clear goals, adaptability, collaboration, and effective communication.
