“I have seen why Alexander does not like ‘inspirational lectures’. People share a lot of nice ideas there and everyone has a nice afternoon, but my people immediately go back to what they are used to doing in their daily hustle and bustle.
In Alexander’s session he used a serious game, spot-on to our situation. My people came up with all kinds of ideas to improve things and were able to immediately test their plans in a new level of that serious game.
In the following weeks I noticed that my people were talking to each other, like ‘during the serious game, we tried so-and-so and made agreements, didn’t we?’ Change is not easy, but I see that my people continue to try.”
“Our organization needs clear and consistent Stakeholder Management. For years, everyone in our company dealt with customers, suppliers, inspectors, governments, local residents, external trainers, etc. in their own way. We are now active in so many areas that no one has the overview.
In several design sessions, we jointly created clear way to view dealing with stakeholders as a logical part of our organization. Several serious games during this process helped us to feel and experience what stakeholders experience from us. We immediately tested every plan of action we came up with in such a safe gaming situation. We would never have made progress so quickly in a traditional program.”
Four phases to make real changes
1
Assess
What is the real question?
Meeting all people
involved, including the initiator(s) and the client,
to create a well
thought-through route plan.
⇧
Focus lies on people, their questions, their situation,
there is no ‘talking solutions’.
2
Conceptualize
What is the real problem?
What precisely is the current situation? What are the options? Which of these are ‘promising’? What are the needs for training and personal development?
⇧
Focus lies on multiple options to improve the situation.
3
Design
What is a real solution?
Detailed design of one (or more) of the promising options from the conceptualization phase, including a concrete implementation plan.
⇧
Focus lies on one of the promising options.
4
Implement
What is the real effect?
Using the chosen design. Continually evaluating
its effects. Continuously
reviewing and adapting the design for better results.
⇧
Focus lies on the effects and on continuous improvement.
“I would love to be able to make bigger decisions in my work more easily. Now I often find it exciting and sometimes postpone it for a long time. Moreover, everyone is happy that I put out daily fires so well. That doesn’t help either.
In a development process with Living Motion, we played a serious game with our entire team in which it immediately became clear how we keep each other in a firm grip. We made plans and tried them out immediately.
Every now and then we play another level of that serious game, just to get sharp again.”
“I would like to be able to make choices and get started more easily with my department. During discussions, everyone keeps repeating their own position. That irritates me immensely.
On our team day we played a serious game with Alexander in which not only my irritation immediately surfaced, but also everyone’s role and contribution in the team became clear.
Also my role. And so I am a real ‘explorer’. I knew that, but I didn’t know that others appreciated it and that my role is crucial in the team.
Although I still get irritated sometimes, I also feel everyone’s appreciation for my role in our team.”
