Are you a leader experiencing the cost of your team's hesitation:

  • Projects stall.

  • Decisions get pushed up the line.

  • Stress climbs while morale drops.

Research shows 90% of the workforce lacks a clear tolerance for ambiguity. That gap silently drains productivity, stifles innovation, and erodes trust in leadership.

However, it is possible to build your team's tolerance to get results in uncertainty!

Ready Set ... Wait! What? is a three-hour, game-based workshop that equips your people to turn uncertainty into confident, coordinated action.

Organisations bring in Ready, Set ... Wait! What? when ambiguity is slowing their teams down. After the workshop, teams are able to :

  • Decide more quickly ... cutting hesitation and rework.

  • Stay steady as pressure mounts ... they look for the opportunity in ambiguity.

  • Collaborate without micromanagement ... more confident to act without needing all the answers.

  • Unlock creativity when resources are tight ... make progress without waiting for perfect clarity.

How It Works

Simulation, not theory. Teams are immersed in the Ambiguity Apocalypse® game — a high-pressure simulation of incomplete information, and scarce resources.

Habits revealed. Leaders see the real-time behaviours that drive or derail performance under stress.

Eight research backed capabilities. Participants are introduced to the research-backed skills that lift tolerance for ambiguity — from curiosity and creativity to focus and courage.

Replay with impact. In the final round, skills cards allow participants to apply selected superpowers directly in play, reinforcing how capability shifts outcomes.

Anchor the learning. Everyone leaves with a keepsake zombie (yes, we take everyone out of their comfort zone) — a reminder that our greatest saboteur often comes from within, and that self-awareness is the first defence.

The Measurable Impact

“The Ambiguity Apocalypse® game was a highly engaging and fun way to connect the learning to action. The main outcome I’ve noticed is that people are using some of the concepts in daily communication, and teams have embraced the activities designed to build the skills for leading in complexity.”

Dr Katrina Lines
Chief Executive Officer, Act for Kids

“Ambiguity Apocalypse® is a fun and light-hearted way to examine individual and team responses to ambiguity. It’s a great opportunity to put aside the hierarchy and see who thrives and leads in an abstract setting.”

Melinda Bopping
Chief People Officer, Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet

“Working in a group, learning a new language to describe shared experiences, and the insights gained from the game is a great way to build team bonds and create a culture of understanding around ambiguity.”

Stacy Field
People and Practice Director, YFS Ltd

“Apart from dying many deaths I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was surprised at how much I learnt about myself. The day after, when my plans went off track, I thought of your game and suddenly viewed it differently — and ended up achieving far more. The benefits reach well beyond the room.”

Katie Sloper
Strategy and Research Advisor, KTS Consulting
