About us

History

L.I.B. Businessgames BV originated in 2002. In that year, Gijs van der Linden started his own business in the well-known attic room in Utrecht, then still called L.I.B. Games.

The abbreviation L.I.B. stands for:
Live - live management games, so no computer simulations
Interhuman - our games are about human interaction
Business - with our games, experience knowledge and/or skills, and reflect on your own practices

It all started with the still popular football business game 'Buy the Top Players'. A new product that, together with the renown of the stadiums, quickly increased in popularity. The game model was successful and satisfied clients came back to ask whether this model could also be applied to their own organisations. That was the start of the development of customised management games.

Today

Due to its appealing methods and many enthusiastic clients, L.I.B. Businessgames BV has experienced healthy growth. The company name was changed to L.I.B. Businessgames BV and we have in the meantime moved to Breda.

Owner Gijs van der Linden now focuses completely on the organisation and development of customised business games. For every problem, he designs an appropriate game model. Patrick Jansen and Bart Claassen are the organisers of the team-building games. Danielle van der Linden is responsible for the finances within the company.

Our vision

In a time when computers make more and more human actions superfluous, we are convinced that every organisation still stands or falls by human work. By means of our games, your staff or business contacts gain knowledge and/or skills about themselves and each other. With the link to the practical situation during and after the game, you directly experience the added value for yourself, your team and the organisation.
