Strategy in PlaySerious Play Workshops
Technology · Nordic scale-up (anonymised)

We thought we agreed.

The situation

A fast-growing company with a leadership team that had never had time to disagree properly.

The tension

Growth hid the fact they were pulling in three directions. When growth flattened, it stopped hiding it.

What was at stake

Roadmap, hiring and an upcoming funding round rested on a shared picture that did not exist.

The play

Half a day of scenarios: what do we do if growth doesn't return next quarter?

The experience

Three different answers in the room. None of them wrong. Only one could be the company's.

What changed

The roadmap was cut, two hires postponed, and the team agreed the signals that trigger the next shift.

"I thought it was a toy. It turned out to be the sharpest tool we've used."
