Andrea, great post. I had been teaching game theory to my teams for over 20 years now, ever since I read Prisoner's Dilemma, by William Poundstone, back in 2003. The tit-for-tat strategy was a game-changer for me, helping me navigate the silos within the corporation. Have you read that book?
Excellent! We use gaming (a number of different games) to build teams and collaborative interactions in the practice of Lean Design & Construction training. This really changes a project outcome to positive benefit in a shared risk/reward approach. Gaming adds insight and fun.
Absolutely brilliant, Andrea! Especially when you tied game theory to the art of asking questions.
I’ve lived by Dr. David Rock’s SCARF model in group dynamics, keeping in mind what triggers the group’s reward and threat responses. Adding game theory to my toolkit is going to be a game changer. Thank you for this. 🙏🏾

Thank you! No, I haven’t, I’ll add it to my reading list!!
Brilliant - thank you!

I’d never heard of this approach - super interesting!
Check out the Lean Construction Institute.
Will do, thanks!
Loved it!
Especially because I’ve been wanting to deep my toes in game theory for a while: any particular book you’d care to suggest to breach into the topic?
Either “pure game theory” for non-academics or applied to strategy if it’s not asking too much :)
Thank you! I’m afraid I wouldn’t know… I got all my game theory education off the internet! Lots of browsing around, so nothing too formal
Edit: see the other comment under this post - there’s a great book suggestion there!!

Thank you so much! It’s amazing to hear that my writing makes a difference 🤩
