What Desdemona is about
Wind, endless horizons and an innovative wind energy project in Argentine Patagonia. A group of maintenance technicians is in charge of keeping it running, with an important mission… and friction between them that keeps growing.
Those everyday challenges are taking a toll on their relationships, and on the mission along with them. The project will only succeed if the team can get past the daily clashes and build trust among themselves.
In Desdemona you discover how every behavior adds or subtracts trust. You practice in realistic simulators, in a safe, stress-free environment, and get personalized feedback on your areas for improvement to take back to your own team.
