New Supply Chain Insights Impact! Game Fosters Collaboration and
Knowledge Sharing

ANN ARBOR, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#SCM—Supply
Chain Insights, a leading industry advisory firm specializing in
supply chain research, and LLamasoft,
a global leader in supply chain optimization software and solutions,
announce the release of a new supply chain simulation game that helps
businesses understand market-driven supply chains.

This new simulation game, Supply Chain Insights Impact!, addresses the
multi-dimensional change happening in the industry as baby-boomers pass
the baton to the next generation of supply chain practitioners—Gen X, Y
and Millennials. Gamification is an experiential learning technique that
can be successfully harnessed to pass on knowledge to people coming into
the supply chain area from other business functions, or entering the
workforce for the first time.

“Businesses are struggling to effectively package up all the knowledge
of current workforces to equip the talent that will shape the supply
chain of tomorrow,” says Lora Cecere Founder and CEO of Supply Chain
Insights. “This game is an effective, fun method for your teams to work
together to understand the business impact of decisions made at
different points in a complex supply chain.”

“Supply Chain Insights selected LLamasoft to partner with to leverage
our Planning by Design and Supply Chain Simulation Technology in order
to architect a unique gamified environment that demonstrates how
collaboration with insightful information drives better decision-making
across the stakeholders in the supply chain,” says Jeff Metersky Vice
President of Solution Strategy at LLamasoft. “The powerful algorithms
behind the technology used in the game can quickly visualize the supply
chain’s complex interactions and resulting performance to enable the
game’s objectives and enhance the players’ future decision making. But
make no mistake, this game is also really fun to play!”
