At Quirk Solutions we believe that there is an art to
making decisions.
Wargaming
Our wargames allow an enhanced level of foresight
prior to your business committing to plans and
resources.
Our wargames give you greater visibility of your future
operating environment:
þ  Possible setbacks are predicted.
þ  Responses are brought forward.
þ  Realistic alternatives are worked out in advance.
It is the final piece of preparation, closing the gap
between your plan and the reality of delivery.

remember that good fortune often happens when opportunity meets with preparation’ !

Why wargame? Why Quirk?
We value disruptive thinking,
challenge and friction but we
harness it to solve the trickiest
problems.
A Quirk wargame uses your own team to enhance your plan using ALL of their skills,
knowledge and instincts.
Our wargames can expose cross functional friction, and create the environment where disruptive
thinking is managed to deliver creative solutions.
A Quirk wargame simulates the operational environment helping you to visualise the impact of real
stakeholders and real competition on your careful planning.
