Two former school teachers are seeking business partners from the logistics community to help develop an innovative board game that has been devised to teach young people about logistics while they play.
Andy Page and Pat Smedley hope that their game – Business on the Move – will also excite and inspire young people to develop their understanding of broader business and enterprise issues and environmental matters.
“Players must make the same decisions businesses make every day. How do I best deliver? Will I make a profit? How should I grow? How can I cut my carbon footprint?” says Page.
The game has been trialled and refined with the help of over 30 schools, teachers and 530 young learners aged 9 to 19.
Roger Williams, chief executive officer of the UKWA, which represents the interests of some 700 logistics services companies, comments: “Andy and Pat have developed a product that will broaden young people’s understanding of global supply chains and raise their career aspirations. I am sure the industry will give this excellent project the support it deserves.”
