Prioritising with Participatory Budgeting

A simulation game around participatory budgeting as a funding alternative: in table groups you make budget decisions under time pressure, where resources, interests and strategic goals collide – building on SAFe.

Participatory budgeting is a participative funding alternative in which investment decisions are made jointly and transparently. In this simulation game, participants experience in table groups how budget decisions emerge under time pressure – where limited resources, differing interests and strategic goals meet. Building on SAFe, we then transfer the insights into participants' own everyday work.

Content

The workshop is built as a simulation game:

  • Setup – table groups, starting position and rules, building on SAFe
  • Simulation – make budget decisions under time pressure
  • Tension – resources, interests and strategic goals collide
  • Reflection – what got decided, what was left behind, and why?
  • Transfer – carry it over into your own everyday work

A similar workshop takes place at the SAFe Leadership Forum in Zurich on 22.10.2026.

The actual course content may differ from the above depending on the trainer, delivery, duration and the composition of participants.
