SERIOUS GAME SuPlay is a scientifically based procurement training method for professional purchasers in the form of a serious game. Based on various procurement strategies combined with project objectives and direct challenge from other participants, the game is dynamic and realistic. Purchasers are motivated and trained in a structured way. Next to hard skills, also soft skills are developed. Learning by playing is a substantially more efficient method than traditional training and with sustainable results. HOW DOES IT WORK? The game takes place in a brewery and players start out as Junior Buyer Packaging. Under professional supervision, the participants develop to the level of CPO within four rounds. In each round new competencies are being added. New workouts, in-game applications and a feedback round enable participants to become final decision-makers with extensive competencies. The combination of various purchasing strategies and real competition between the different participating teams results in a dynamic and realistic playing field in which leadership, teamwork and decision-making are indispensable.
