INSEAD: Building High Performing & Agile Finance Teams

💡 Building High-Performance Habits at INSEAD: A Finance Team Journey

🧭 Context

As they prepared for their end-of-year workshop, the INSEAD finance team recognized that achieving their strategic goals required more than just planning – it called for building high-performance habits and a collaborative mindset across the team.

The team had clear goals and a strong vision, but faced a key challenge: developing deeper trust, agility, and alignment in how they worked together.

🚧 Challenge

The team wasn’t just looking for another workshop. They wanted a transformative experience to:

• Strengthen daily habits that support communication, accountability, and collaboration

• Build a culture of high performance that drives long-term impact

• Create space for reflection and collective alignment

🌴 How Miki Island Helped

To meet these needs, the finance team turned to Miki Island – a dynamic and interactive simulation designed to spark high-performance behaviors through gameplay.

During the session, participants:

• Immersed themselves in a simulated environment mirroring real-world challenges

• Experimented with new strategies to build trust, enhance collaboration, and problem-solve with agility

• Took part in a guided debrief to reflect on behaviors, extract key insights, and develop an actionable game plan

🎯 Outcome

The Miki Island experience led to a significant mindset shift for the INSEAD finance team. They walked away with:

• A renewed sense of unity and purpose

• Increased role clarity and improved team communication

• A shared commitment to sustaining high-performance habits

• A practical plan to reinforce trust, collaboration, and alignment in daily interactions

The result? A finance team more prepared than ever to deliver impact, stay agile, and work as one cohesive unit toward their strategic goals. 🚀
