Deadlines and Deliverables: A Collaborative Game to Build a More Resilient Workforce

Abstract

A key concern in threat assessment is a persons ability to cope with extreme stress. This ability to cope is, in part, about resilience-- how a person deals with challenges and recovers from adversity. Researchers created the cooperative card game Deadlines and Deliverables to support security efforts by building resilience in the workforce. With an interactive and engaging format, the game simulates real-life situations and challenges employees to work together to overcome them. This Research Note describes the game development process and highlights the empirical evidence on which the game is based.
