 An Insight tour of your organization









Improve the performance of your business by:

  • Focusing on customer needs and setting clear goals;
  • Aligning business goals, customer needs, products, processes and resources;
  • Creating more business effectiveness and efficiency.
Go! Underground

® offers you an interactive workshop to discuss performance improvement, address gaps between current and desired situation and finally formulate specific and measurable actions.

No time consuming interviews with employees, long ineffective meetings or imposed actions; but awareness, input and supported actions for performance improvement in just one day!


The workshop

Go! Underground

® takes your team on an insight tour through your organization. You will take the "Underground" for quick and efficient traveling. The tour will guide you through the Plan-Do-Check-Act routes. You will pass stations such as: Customers, Management & Leadership, Processes & Resources and Reports.

Similar to the real underground you will find yourself exploring the depths of certain

 routes. But you will also surface and survey where you are and what route you should take. Discovering and aligning is key! Queen, David, Amy and Jack will be your guides on this tour. With their diverse characteristics they will help you look at your organization from different perspectives.

  • Improved awareness of the relationship between these aspects;
  • Improved awareness of the benefits of continuous improvement (plan-do-check-act);
  • Improved awareness of team roles and their contribution to business performance.

Brief description

Participants of a Go! Underground

® workshop use a table size game board, special tokens, a dice and custom made question cards to complete their insight tour.

During a 5-hour workshop, participants compete in small teams for the highest final score. Points are obtained by answering questions. 

These questions are related to your specific business goals and aspects of your organization. Extra points can be earned by showing in-depth (Underground) knowledge, awareness of the relationship between aspects and/or awareness of the drivers of continuous improvement.

Wildcards, unexpected obstacles on the tour and opinionated guides can cause setbacks, loss of points and a lot of fun.
