The feedback from the participants was fabulous!
I led The Search for The Lost Dutchman's Gold Mind for our Store Manager development as part of their annual Store Managers Conference. During the game, there were a few "aha" moments but what really brought the point home was the debriefing.
There was a lot of great debriefing material to use and I focused on how the game paralleled our business and how much better the results could be if we collaborated better as an organization.
I would recommend this game to anyone that wanted to build collaboration among and between teams. It is fun and effective!
After renting the game to initially test it with two large groups, we bought the Professional Edition to run this company-wide

"I led The Search for The Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine for our senior leadership team as part of the strategic planning initiative, since so many of the key learning points about Dutchman relate to the issues involved in creating and sharing a vision and getting people to act in alignment. It is far easier to talk about working together and collaborating for shared goals and outcomes than it is to actually do that, and Dutchman demonstrates that really well.
The beauty of the Dutchman game is not so much in the play but within the actualy debrief and what "nuggets of gold" can actually be mined within the discussion and its application to your organization. Senior Leaders are not always the most open to training simulations, but since we have done the activity, we are still talking about "aha's" that we have uncovered and plan to apply in our strategy for the upcoming year. I can recommend this game to anyone dealing with senior managers or large groups of people. It is fun, but it is also very effective. mage. Click to edit and add your own."

I wanted to let you know that the feedback received from our team of global managers about the Lost Dutchman team building session was excellent. We couldn't have found a better tool to kick off our collaboration and process improvement efforts than this.
The exercise was a great way to generate that initial push toward working across normal boundaries like operations and research and marketing to make the real work of planning and implementing more effective.
There are few things like Dutchman that can work with senior managers to involve and engage them in organizational improvement efforts. Not to mention, it was tremendous fun too!
Thanks for your collaboration and openness during the planning of the event!
