Testimonials about Lost Dutchman I have used the Lost Dutchman numerous times within the Harris Methodist system and it worked magnificently. The simulation is applicable to both hospital and health plan situations and stimulates lots of open discussion and effective planning. I have used the game with several of my clients. The feedback is fabulous. This experiential learning tool places participants in small teams to plan and undertake a trek into Superstition Mountains to find the famous Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine.
Participants report that the experience is very engaging and lots of fun.
The powerful learning comes in the debrief after the game. Participants recall their behavior and their reactions to other people's behavior. True character and work culture are exposed. Their experience in the game sets the stage for great learning about communication, teamwork, leadership. If you'd like more input from me on our experience using the game, feel free to drop a note.
