TacTec has been developed by Pieter van der Hijden (Sofos Consultancy).

The original purpose of the TacTec game is to generate creative input from a client organisation,
leading to the development of a structured implementation plan for a EC strategy. The game, however,
is structured as a frame game. It can be loaded with quite different cases as long as they are
complex and involve both human and technical aspects. The TacTec game may be used during the
development of an implementation plan for a EC strategy, both for consulting the client organisation
and for preparing the final plan document.
Electronic Commerce (EC) is the transaction of business between two or more parties through
Information and Communications Technology (ICT). The tactics of EC (i.e. the translation of EC
strategy into an implementation programme) is crucial to the success of any EC strategy. The
implementation process can take years and may affect many business functions. And while the ICT
environment constantly changes, daily business operations have to remain stable.

The TacTec game requires adult participants with a professional background who are able to
communicate and to cooperate. Homogeneity is not required. Different perspectives are welcome.
The participants should have at least a basic knowledge of ICT and some experience of PC use,
including surfing the web. It is not necessary to use computers during the game.
The TacTec game can be scaled to accommodate groups ranging from 7-28 participants. The game
has up to 7 roles. Each role may be played by a single participant or by a small team (of up to 4
participants).

The participants have a role as member of the project team specially focussed on the interest of one
stakeholder.

A game session with a small group should take about 3 hours, with a larger group about 4 hours
(including devriefing). Loaded with a stripped case and guided by a very strict facilitator it can be run
in one hour. Preparation of the room takes 0.25 hour.
|
|
|
|
The game consists of a briefing, selection of stake holders, analysis of current situation, analysis of
desired situation, design of transformation, cross-check of results, and a de-briefing.
