  • “The Business Model Game is a great facilitation tool and makes it simple to talk about value creation and the different parts of the business model. Even though the participants had varying degrees of knowledge about business models, it was easy to facilitate a talk about the core aspects.”

    — Casper Gamborg Holm, PhD at Aalborg University Business School

  • “The game challenges and provides perspectives. Dry parameters become easier to access, and the severe nature will not stand in the way of seeing possibilities, instead of focusing on the known or standardised. The game helps to create consensus within the group while simultaneously making it acceptable to bring new ideas to the fore.”

    — Thomas Winther, Associate Professor at Technical University of Denmark
