Dolphins play in pods, bees work in hives. At Pod & Hive we help teams work and play together to improve and learn. We're a diverse team of facilitators, coders, designers, researchers, and gamers, united by our goal to bring energy and engagement to organisational learning.
Our games are group behavioural simulations, designed to reflect and explore how we interact in teams, divisions, and organisations. They offer a space to experiment with new behaviours and reflect on current ones. Our games are grounded in:
• Complex group dynamics: With expertise in organizational complexity, our games are simple to play but hard to master, emphasizing player interactions over tricks or gimmicks.
• Organisational and behavioural psychology: Our team’s knowledge enhances both gameplay and debriefs.
• Business acumen: With experience in commercial and government sectors, we connect simulations to real-world organizational contexts.
• Rigorous scholarship: Built on tested frameworks, our games offer practical, research-backed insights.
• Fun: As gamers, if we don’t enjoy the game, we won’t make it for anyone else!
Our greatest joy is seeing others enjoy what we’ve created. Come and play with us!
