Change is a practice. We learn it by doing it.

Simulations help us make experience a better teacher: • Accelerate learning • Reduce risk • Focus on what matters

A year in the life of a change team … in one day.

LEARNING BY DOING

Experience is a great, but often cruel teacher: • Takes a long time • Risky • Unfocused


• Give people practice, tools, and a common language for leading change.

• Give people a shared experience so that we may start building a community of change leaders to help one another.

• Kick-start participants’ own change projects and set the stage for ongoing support - especially over the first 30 days.
