I find the The Lean Games and Simulations Book great and very useful. I have used several (> 20) of the games in both top management trainings and general lean trainings with extraordinary feedback from the participants. The book includes a number of games that really gives the participants a knowledge through experience that is difficult to develop in a lecture set-up. Many of the games explains lean as a system and not only as lean tools or methods for example a dice game for queue theory, push and pull planning principles, systems thinking, etc.
The games are well described with material, instructions, learning points and further reading and references - brilliant!
Many of the games requires an experienced Instructor as the theory behind needs to be explained and exemplified through cases (preferable own experience). As the games are so well explained in a transparent way they can easily be adjusted and developed for specific needs.
Thank you John for this book! It has giving me not only a whole bunch of good exercises but also a deeper understanding why experience based learning is so effectful.- Pia Anhede, owner Revere AB
