Major Tom Mouat will discuss the design, execution, and facilitation of Matrix games.

About this event
Talk will be "Matrix Games - how to have a sensible argument about things that are difficult to measure - or not, if your facilitator isn't up to it..." and I'll cover the "effects" problem, the underpinning science behind the game, some examples (with brilliant successes and abject failures), and some practical advice on designing and running Matrix Games (including the KMAC-YOYO game).
