Lean for Office & Administration – Turn Learning into a Game.

One game set allows 6-12 participants to play simultaneously in a training session. However, if more players are involved, a second game set can easily be added. In that case, two groups train in the same room, running through the game in parallel. As a result, this setup often creates a healthy sense of competition, which further boosts engagement and enthusiasm.

A standard training session usually lasts 4 hours. However, the duration can be flexibly adjusted to meet your specific needs. For example, if you plan to integrate additional content, the training can be extended and even spread across multiple days. In fact, some trainers use the game as a "red thread" for multi-day workshops, starting with the first round in the morning, combining it with custom content in the afternoon, and continuing with additional rounds on the following days. On the other hand, the training can also be shortened if the focus is placed only on specific Lean tools. As a result, the LeanActivity Office Game adapts easily to different training formats.

The game is suitable for organizations with complex or process-heavy office and administrative workflows, especially in environments where multiple roles, departments, and interfaces are involved. In addition, universities and consulting firms make use of the LeanActivity Office Game to enrich their teaching portfolio and strengthen their unique value proposition. As a result, the game provides real value across education, consulting, and corporate practice.

Each LeanActivity Office Game comes in a durable travel trolley, which can even be taken on an airplane. As a result, it is ideal for trainers who deliver sessions at multiple locations. In addition, the set includes all the game elements required for the simulation, along with access to the online platform that provides step-by-step video moderation and facilitation guides.

No external moderation is required, as the game is fully facilitated by the online platform. The video instructions clearly explain Lean methodologies and guide participants through each round of the game. In addition, trainers may choose to add their own expertise, provide further explanations, or answer more in-depth questions, although this is entirely optional. As a result, the game is designed to run smoothly and independently, ensuring a consistent training experience.

Unlike traditional trainings, the LeanActivity Office Game provides a realistic simulation of office and administrative processes. In particular, participants experience real cases, authentic challenges, and dynamic workflows that mirror the complexity of everyday office life. As a result, this realism creates an immediate connection between the training and participants' own work environment, ensuring that lessons learned can be applied directly in practice.

By combining hands-on play, teamwork, and a sense of competition, the LeanActivity Office Game creates an exciting and motivating atmosphere. In addition, participants don't just learn Lean concepts theoretically; they experience the effects of Lean methods first-hand. As a result, this approach boosts both engagement and long-term retention of knowledge.

No, both games are completely independent and come with their own unique materials and setups. The Factory Game focuses on production processes, whereas the LeanActivity Office Game addresses Lean principles in administrative areas. In addition, they can be combined for extended Lean training programs, although each game works perfectly as a standalone experience.
