Udder Disaster
Shaking up the way we think about business resilience
Developed by our cyber security services team, this game challenges you to think creatively and strategically as you and your team navigate the ups and downs of running a dairy farm.
Udder Disaster was shortlisted at the Computing UK Security Excellence Awards for its innovative approach in highlighting the importance of business resilience.
How to play
Udder Disaster puts players in charge of the dairy farm's annual budget, making them responsible for critical decisions to grow the business and tackle unexpected challenges along the way. With each twist and turn, players will face obstacles that force them to think on their feet, bounce back from setbacks, and adapt to changing conditions.
But it’s not just about farming, it’s about resilience. Simple concepts like protecting your assets with a guard dog, or securing backup power with a generator, reflect real-world business strategies that players can apply to any industry.
Teams are given an annual budget to spend on improvements that will boost the farm’s productivity or product quality. But it’s not just about investing in the now – they’ll need to prepare for future challenges and respond to unexpected events. With each decision, players gain valuable insights they can bring back to their businesses.
