Unleashing Collective Intelligence: A Powerful Showcase with Miki Island in Singapore

Unleashing Collective Intelligence: A Powerful Day with Miki Island in Singapore

On 20 May 2025, something special happened in Singapore. Together with our local partners, Tim Wieringa and Leila Boutaleb Brousse — certified Miki Island partners in Singapore — we hosted a joint event that brought together an incredible group of HR leaders, learning professionals, and executive coaches for a hands-on, high-energy showcase of The Miki Island Experience. The result was nothing short of transformative.

🌴 More Than Just Play: Where Immersive Simulation Meets Business Reality

The session opened with a warm welcome from Leila, setting the tone for the day, before Oussama Labib, CEO and creator of Miki Island, delivered a powerful reality check: What’s holding organizations and teams back from becoming truly high-performing?

Drawing on real-world insights and years of research, Oussama revealed a core truth — many teams struggle not because of a lack of talent, but because they fail to tap into their collective intelligence. This unseen force, when harnessed effectively, unlocks performance, agility, and innovation.

🔥 Immersive Gameplay That Mirrors Real Work Challenges

Participants were then invited to step into the world of Miki Island, a science-backed serious game designed to simulate high-stakes, team-based decision-making. Facilitated by our expert partners Tim Wieringa and Leila Boutaleb Brousse, the gameplay wasn’t just fun — it was transformative.

Over the course of 45 minutes, attendees were immersed in an interactive scenario that tested their communication, trust, collaboration, and leadership under pressure. Every decision mattered. Every interaction revealed something deeper about how teams operate under stress.

🔄 Making It Real: From Gameplay to the Workplace

What truly set this session apart was the guided debrief that followed. Tim and Leila led a thoughtful reflection where participants connected their in-game behavior to real-world team dynamics. Together, we surfaced rich insights around:

• How psychological safety impacts communication
• Why clarity of purpose is essential for alignment
• What it means to lead adaptively in uncertainty
• And how small behavior shifts can drive collective success

The conversations were eye-opening. Attendees walked away not only with personal takeaways but also practical ideas they could bring back to their teams and clients. The experience also allowed people in the room to visualize and identify opportunities to integrate Miki Island into their organizational context, such as:

• Leadership programs
  
• Culture change initiatives
  
• Team offsites
  
• Team coaching journeys

💬 From Curiosity to Collective Impact

What made this session truly powerful was the energy in the room — a shared curiosity, an openness to learning through play, and a willingness to experiment with new tools for transformation.

This wasn’t just another workshop. It was a moment of connection and insight, where people from different organizations and disciplines came together to explore a new way of learning — and left with a deeper understanding of what it takes to build high-performing, future-ready teams.
