The Challenge
What makes Lost Dutchman Goldmine work?
Lost Dutchman Goldmine is an internationally recognised strategy simulation where teams plan expeditions, invest resources and decide how much to collaborate in pursuit of the most gold. The twist is that hoarding and competing quietly undermine results, while sharing information lifts everyone. It is a clever mirror of how organisations really win or lose together.
- Plan expeditions and invest resources
- Decide when to compete or collaborate
- Mine the most gold as a group
- Debrief the strategy and its lessons
The Result
What Lost Dutchman Goldmine delivers for your team
The simulation reveals, often surprisingly, how much more a group achieves when it aligns around shared goals rather than internal rivalry. Teams come away with concrete insight into collaboration, communication and the cost of working in silos. It is a thought-provoking session that resonates strongly with leadership and cross-functional groups.
