Reading about it is one thing, and actually playing the game quite another, so I got a group of colleagues together and we gave it a try. ... By the reports of all involved it was one of the most effective learning experiences they'd had.

Any specific results you can share? Were the outcomes similar to Doerner?

We had a write-up on our wiki (in French). You can probably get an idea from the graph: there were two teams, Team Red did fairly well - they started out cautiously, observed for a while before making any changes, and ended up in control. Team Blue had more oscillation, they panicked a lot at the start. They had most of the "irrational" remarks.
