Top Priority is a business simulation game, simulating a matrix structure to create a realistic organisational context.

An effective delegation group activity, where participants must complete and prioritise parallel tasks under a strict time frame, with limited resources. Leadership, change management and strategic thinking skills are essential for the group to complete the task as they’re attention and availability is in demand from more than one area.

Top Priority reflects all those times and situations in the work place when demands for your attention and availability conflict. On these occasions you are forced to make decisions about how, where and when you can contribute most effectively and how to apply your effort most constructively in order to achieve organisational targets or goals.

In many organisations, prioritisation occurs haphazardly, as staff responds to urgent rather than important tasks or follows the lead of the person who shouts loudest! Creating a vision and strategy that is accepted and understood by everyone helps: so does a clear channel for decision-making.

In Top Priority, participants work in sub-teams to tackle a series of independent, parallel tasks. Each task is important, and each must be achieved by the deadline at the end of the exercise. Organisational success is achieved if all tasks are completed, to standard and within time.

Top Priority contains our popular activities Webmaster, Sequencer, and Workstations, as well as other engaging resources.

Business Benefits

A highly practical experience with real pressure. The selected activities represent different types of work tasks e.g. compliance, administration, manufacturing, problem-solving and require different types of expertise. All participants must be engaged and involved. This demands real motivation and leadership and this potential can be assessed by observers of the exercise. It is therefore an excellent assessment tool.
