GE Intelligent Platforms – UVA Bay Game
The only large-scale participatory watershed stewardship simulation of its
kind. Learn how you can better manage our most undervalued resource at the
3rd Annual Water Innovations Alliance Conference.
During this ground breaking simulation, players make decisions about their
livelihoods and regulatory authority over a 20-year period. They see
first-hand the impact of their decisions on their own financial situation,
on the regional economy, and on the Bay’s health. Early in the
gameplay players begin to recognize the need to share information in order
to optimize their economic and environmental progress. As they share
information they form collaborative teams, and in that collaboration they
forge innovative solutions. Players competed against real-world data,
and their success affirms the power of information and collaboration in exceeding
conventional expectations. In visualizing data about water and stakeholder
behavior the UVA Bay Game also reveals untapped opportunities for technology
and business process development—opportunities now shared by a diverse
group of industry innovators.
