The
What Would You Do?
(Data and Cyber) Game
The What Would You Do? (Data and Cyber) Game is a game with a difference – a journey of discovery through the digital world in which we live, work and play, designed for both Directors, Trustees, Leadership teams and Staff
If your organisation is struggling to gain staff engagement in the digital programs it needs to implement then this game may just be the answer. This game was tried and tested over 5 years by Cybata before we decided to make it available to a wider audience.
As DPO’s and CISO’s, professionals in our own disciplines, we want to enable the businesses we support to be data and cyber safe as well as effective and efficient. We are not business blockers, rather business builders*. We have to lift the digital literacy of our organisation, providing worldly context, if we are to ever engage and enthuse our staff so that they will begin to act as we want and need them to do when they interact with digital services and data. *Credit – Clare Paterson and Luke Beckley.
If you are responsible for, or need the digital literacy of teams to improve then The What Would You Do? (Data and Cyber) Game is something your teams need to play. If you are an educator/trainer that would like to explore gamification to improve learning outcomes then why not try this game?
This game asks all of those questions we need and more to see how prepared those playing the game are to handle everyday digital situations we find ourselves in, at work or at play. Some of the answers are not as obvious as they may think and the game is engineered to make players look hard at how you handle those situations, ask questions and see if you are as clear on what you should do as you think you are.
For different audiences across an organisation, two different card packs are provided. The facilitator of a game, decides which type of game to play and which cards to use in that game. Playing games with cards specifically suited to situation or a group of players role/function will provide more learning and engagement that using a broad range of cards. Sometimes less is more! For cross functional teams in smaller organisations using a broad set of cards is a great way of bringing the need for digital cohesion to the fore.
