Navigate intel-sharing challenges and make rapid decisions under pressure. A high-stakes simulation that exposes how teams really communicate—and how they could do it better.
Cross-Functional Ops drops teams into a spy-themed scenario where success depends entirely on how well they share information across silos. Each team holds pieces of a puzzle—but only by communicating effectively can they complete the mission.
The simulation reveals exactly how information gets lost, distorted, or hoarded—and gives teams a shared language for fixing it.
The knowledge and understanding they'll gain:
The skills and behaviours they'll take away:
Teams are assigned roles within an intelligence agency. Each receives different pieces of information about an unfolding situation. Through timed communication windows, they must piece together the full picture and coordinate a response.
The debrief reveals what information was lost, why decisions went wrong, and—crucially—how the same patterns show up in everyday work.
Cross-functional teams who need to collaborate better, organisations breaking down silos, project teams with multiple stakeholders, or any group where miscommunication has real consequences.
