As businesses seek to incorporate CSR into their strategy, they are often faced with a particular challenge:
How to motivate staff to engage with CSR?
The standard approach – PowerPoint presentations backed up with hackneyed examples and images – is generally unmotivating and fails to show CSR as a dynamic, innovative and forward-looking part of business strategy.
Paradise Island changes all that.
Paradise Island is a small, perfect island in the South Pacific – ripe for development. But what exactly will development bring to this Paradise? A growing, sustainable local economy? Or the dangers of uncontrolled tourism: exploitation, pollution and destruction?
Paradise Island is a dynamic action game where participants roleplay unscrupulous developers, local campaigners or local decision-makers.
The game adapts elegantly to different client organisations: for banks, the decision-makers are investors. For public bodies, they are the local council.
And there’s even a local media journalist in the mix!
Paradise Island combines development issues, human rights and business decision-making. It helps participants develop skills in negotiation, communication, teamwork and leadership
