Table Talk<\/h1>\n\n\n

Discussing agricultural business succession<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transition of an agricultural business, whether within or outside a family enterprise, is always a pivotal phase. Effective communication is essential for a smooth handover. Table Talk, an educational board game, encourages meaningful discussions by challenging players to step into each other?s shoes and consider different perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can agricultural business succession be made easier to discuss and more accessible?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The transition of an agricultural business is a complex process, particularly (or perhaps even more so) when it happens within the same family. Discussing it at home can be challenging, as conversations often center on the business side while the emotional aspects, an equally important part of the transition, are often overlooked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

In collaboration with the Animal and Livestock Farming program and the Master\u2019s in Serious Gaming at NHL Stenden, we have developed an educational board game to support young successors in agricultural businesses: Table Talk.This educational board game<\/a><\/strong> brings emotions to the surface in a safe and engaging way\u2014right to the table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n

\"\"Approach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our development process, we prioritize defining the goal before selecting the format. While serious games are often associated with digital platforms, a digital game isn?t always the most effective choice. For games designed to spark conversation, a traditional board or card game can often be more impactful. Additionally, the preferences of the target audience play a key role in determining the right approach.Through a series of brainstorming sessions between researchers and students from the Animal and Livestock Farming program at Van Hall Larenstein, an educational board game emerged as the format that generated the most enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
