a strong tool that creates growth without increasing costs

"A controlled, practical, and engaging process that uses your present strengths to stimulate innovation.”

Why use it?
The purpose of the business game Breakaway is to make you think in non-traditional ways about the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities of your own business, as well as those of your competitors. It is about gaining an advantage by offering something others do not have and/or eliminating costs that do not offer any competitive benefit. The game is a strong tool for driving growth without increasing costs.

How does it work?
Breakaway focuses on the factors that make you stand out – your services, products and solutions – and your internal or external markets. The purpose of the game is to focus on one area, be it sales, project development, or the development of services and/or products. During the game new parameters will evolve that enable you to beat the competition, and kick-start the creation and development of competitive advantages.

People & Performance then offers certifications to internal or external HR consultants and/or, develop processes for the entire company or any of its departments. Breakaway is an ideal concept for making a common platform that makes development, optimisation and shared objectives clear and immediate to those involved. The theoretical framework of the game is Blue Ocean Strategy.

What are the benefits?
Breakaway supports:

  • Strategic processes in companies
    • The game takes strategic work out of its often secluded life in management offices, and takes it direct to the employees who can implement it. So Breakaway is a help to leaders who want to involve organisational members, partners or customers in strategic development
    • Department processes involving services, projects or products
    • The game may also be about a strategy for a single product, a group of products, a project sale, a service, a division or a department. How can we make our project stand out, and which unique selling points must be developed to beat the competition or match our development ambitions? You can regain markets by using the company’s core competencies to revitalize strategies and processes
