Program Overview
Tang Dynasty Prosperity is a signature Chinese cultural IP-based strategic simulation, combining time-travel immersion with leadership strategy exercises. Participants navigate the intricacies of ancient governance to awaken modern management insights, experiencing millennia of wisdom applied to contemporary decision-making.
Core Application Scenarios
Challenges:
- Departments such as marketing, R&D, and production often work in silos due to KPI conflicts
- Marketing complains that R&D products don’t meet customer needs; R&D blames production delays; production criticises marketing forecasts
- Cross-functional project execution suffers from high communication costs, low decision-making efficiency, and finger-pointing
Simulation Approach:
- Teams engage in immersive scenario exercises reflecting inter-departmental dependencies
- Practise coordination, negotiation, and unified decision-making to overcome silos and improve efficiency
Challenges:
- Managers promoted from individual contributor roles often default to what worked for them in the past
- Lack systematic thinking: market insight → cost calculation → risk assessment
- This can lead to fragmented decisions and an inability to design strategies from a holistic perspective
Simulation Approach:
- Participants practise strategic thinking across business dimensions
- Develop systematic approaches to problem-solving and decision-making under complex scenarios
Challenges:
- Non-finance and non-sales staff often ignore financial and customer perspectives
- Reports focus on “what was done” rather than “costs incurred” or “customer value created”
- Limited understanding of business implications of daily work
Simulation Approach:
- Exercises emphasise interpreting financial data and customer impact
- Cultivate business acumen and holistic understanding of organizational objectives
