Become Climate’s new manager of operations
Working for a virtual company that can change the weather !
Sit down and experience ” live ” the daily events faced by your team: objectives are fixed, accidents happen, rumors circulate, tornados wreak havoc-your virtual employees react and come to you for direction.
Your job is to make the decisions necessary to reach your objectives and those of your team. You will see your team evolve differently, depending on your decisions . But be careful, once you make a decision, you can’t go back: if you make a mistake, you have to live with the consequences and try to correct the situation !
What is CLIMATE Inc ?
Two years ago, Elizabeth Inventor made a fascinating discovery that would change the lives of many people. She noticed that when crickets chirp certain songs, they emit waves that change the climate around them. Based on her research, she started a company that could change the weather.
Unfortunately, the technology has not yet been perfected, and there are accidents on occasion such as snowstorms in mid-summer or sunny 30°C-weather in the winter…
Ms. Inventor’s team is made up of researchers and technicians in charge of operations, a medical team to deal with emergencies, and instructors to prepare the public for the new weather reality.
Choose your mission
Your overall mission is to lead Climate’s Operations and Public Impact Division in accurately modifying the country’s weather while benefiting its citizens.
There are three levels of difficulty to choose from:
- Mission #1 : 3A’s Beginner. ” Mobilize Frank! “. You must deal with a demobilized supervisor and have problems solved.
- Mission #2 : 3A’s Intermediate. ” The Solution Committee “. You have to consolidate your team of supervisors and take action at the level of their working methods. Climatic errors are happening too frequently.
- Mission #3 : 3A’s Expert. ” Decision Teams “. Industrial espionage forces you to lead a major organizational change. The theft of company technology means you will have to build mobilization systems. You must change departmental practices, attitudes and organizational culture.
Hundreds of decisions and paths possible
The scenes are so complex and rich that hundreds of decisions and different paths through the game are possible. You don’t have to stick to a pre-established ideal path. You reap the consequences of your decisions, so you must act to either correct the situation or maintain the direction you have taken.
Many participants enjoy starting the simulation over again, purposely making poor decisions so they can master the art of correcting a bad situation.

Your goal in “Climate Inc”
Welcome to Climate Inc., a company that has a real impact on the climate! Thanks to the modulated song of criquets (industrial secret!), the company succeeds in transforming climatic conditions. However, the managers and their teams make mistakes that have negative consequences on the population. Your goal : Use your leadership effectively to turn the situation around!
Meet your team
This is your first formal meeting with your staff. You are Alex Newcome, a newly hired director.
Start by watching the first scene (a female voice represents you in this scene):
How do you analyse the situation? What is your perception of every character? What would be your first formal move?
Will you achieve the desired impact? And what will be the next steps to successfully mobilize your team and get them to work together?
Use your leadership wisely
Your journey within the organization will depend on your choice of action and your ability to effectively use your leadership with the members of your team. For each situation encountered, “Climate inc” will offer you several leadership options. If you miss your entry or an approach along the way, you will have to deal with the consequences throughout the simulation! And be careful! If the President calls you into her office, that’s not necessarily a good sign…
Learn from your impact
Each decision is made with the other participants. Learn from each other’s vision and experience. Then, be prepared to receive feed-back on your leadership’s impact from the game, from the participants group and from the trainer!
