Customized
diversophy® games

diversophy®, the world's most extensive intercultural training game can be focused on your industry, core business and the needs and concerns of your people.

We will deliver a made-to-order training instrument for seminars, conventions, workshops in your preferred format for the conference room or in electronic form for your intranet or e-learning program.


George Simons International along with our worldwide network of developers and translators offer to consult with you and your organization to develop versions of the game that are most suited to your business, market, industry or organization. We can provide not only customized game materials, but also assist you in the design of overall diversity or intercultural programs in which the game may be one of several interventions.

There are several ways to customize diversophy®

1. "Stacking the Deck"—do-it-yourself customization using existing materials

diversophy® provides a wide range of questions and situations in each game card set. Many of these cards may be more relevant for your group than others. If your group is to play for a limited amount of time, we suggest that you "stack the deck" by selecting cards about topics that are most relevant to your group or organization or the work functions of the players. Remove from play cards that are of lesser interest to your group or that you expect might cause problems not easily resolved in the course of playing and debriefing the game.

If you already have two or more diversophy® games, you may "stack the deck" by choosing cards from the several games. Since each game card has a distinctive logo, it will be easy later to return the game cards to their original sets.


2. Tapping the
diversophy® database

The diversophy® data base contains many thousands of cards and is growing steadily. We may already have on hand the kinds of cards you need for your group.

If you let us know what you are looking for, we can search our data base for you and provide suggestions from which you can select exactly what you need. We will then assemble and print your games for you, or deliver them to you electronically for your online presentation needs.


3. Partnering with us to create your own game

George Simons International offers to consult with you and your organization to develop versions of diversophy® which are most suited to your organization or group and its current challenges. We can provide not only with customized game materials, but also assist you in the design of training programs in which the game may be one of several interventions.

Format of customised materials

Customised games can be delivered in any of the standard formats or we will produce and package them or deliver them online to your specifications, with your logo, look and feel, etc.

We also offer a Custom Conference Game for one time use only which is designed for play in large groups without tables. Cards are printed in disposable, paper sets. Volume users may order conference editions of any available card sets or customized combinations thereof. These are not stock items but made to order only.
