Transformation Game

The leading simulation game in Change Management

Concept

SysTeamsChange®

The simulation game SysTeamsChange is designed for organizations which want to effectively plan and implement a sustainable change. It allows the participants to learn the different phases of the change management process and to realistically experience the measures that are important in successfully reaching different employees. SysTeamsChange can be used in many different ways and is available in several versions.

Implement A Sustainable Change

A challenging and motivating learning environment gives the participants direct experience with the factors that must be managed if the transformation is to be successful. These include not only the logical process steps but also those dealing with the psychological and emotional impacts of change on the affected employees.

The participants learn how different psychological types react to changes and which measures can be used to achieve them. SysTeamsChange shows the role of the social networks in stakeholder communication and potential intervention measures for the different phases of change.

Theoretical Validation

The economic and organizational psychologist Prof. Dr. Willy Kriz has played a leading role in the development of SysTeamsChange which has been evaluated and validated by more than 50 current management theories and approaches.
SysTeamsChange is based on the phases of change as first described by Kurt Levin, beginning with shock, followed by rational and then emotional insight, and culminating in the sustainable integration of the change. He stressed the importance of understanding the psychological and emotional impact of organizational development processes and focusing on the thoughts, feelings and reactive behavior of the people involved.

Simulation Game

Reality is simulated, the game situation is authentic, the learning success is real

he participants are assigned to small teams and are given the assignment of advising an organization during the change process. Pieces on a board symbolize affected actors with an individual psychological profile. The participants guide the actors through the various phases of the change process. The aim is to choose the intervention measures that are appropriate to the phases until the integration is reached.

Simulation Setup

The participants are assigned as consultant teams and advise – depending on the selected version a company, school, or clinic – during each phase of the change process. The game simulates working with everyone involved in or affected by the change (managers, employees, suppliers, customers and others). Their objective is to successfully guide each of these subgroups through the various phases of the process.

These phases address both the procedural and logical arrangement as well as the emotional and psychological elements of change – beginning with shock, followed by rational and then emotional insight, and culminating in the sustainable integration of the change.The aim is to choose the intervention measures that are appropriate to the phase and the simulated level of development of each individual who is affected by the change. The computer model then provides immediate feedback as to whether the participant’s choices were effective or not. Based on the feedback the pieces on the board will be moved.

The trainer provides further feedback at regular intervals. In this follow-on discussion, the participants will learn more about the scientific theories so that they can apply what they have learned in their working world.

Depending on the variant, they also derive concrete action plans and make decisions directly within the team.
