The Structure of Culture

30 minutes

English (US),French,Spanish

Played : 185 Times

Description

Culture Onboarding or: How to Teach Hybrid Working is a game about culture changes, management, L&D, development, onboarding processes, and fears of change. As a player, you will be responsible for onboarding a new colleague in the new normal into the role that you previously filled. Your new colleague has no knowledge of self-management or hybrid- digital working and will need a thorough introduction to these topics.

The game is based on the theoretical framework by Edgar Schein and thus has an inherent interest in the three aspects that define culture: Artifacts, Espoused Values, and Tacit Assumptions. If you would like to learn more about the theoretical framework, we highly recommend the following books: Schein, Edgar, Organizational Culture and Leadership (1985) and Schein, Edgar and Peter, The Corporate Culture Survival Guide (2019).

Have fun!

2 - 4 hours

English (US),Danish,Dutch,Finnish,French,Spanish

Played : 2792 Times

Description

Restructuring and Synergies are about the complex change process of restructuring an organization. You are working in the corporation “Your Money A/S”, which is one of the largest companies within the financial sector in the country. The scenario takes place just after a reorganization has taken place within the company. You have been given a new position as the manager of the IT Operations department and you must lead your 10 employees through the change process that naturally occurs when you are repositioned in new jobs and in new work structures. The purpose of the company restructuring is to create new synergies between the different functions in the IT department. Up until now, IT has been organized in sections, carrying out tasks within the development, operation, and support.

Over time, the divide between the sections has increased and this has affected the flexibility of collaboration and the ability to create a unified image of IT. Through a reorganization process, the goal now is to create synergies and transparent work processes and make sure the department has a clear profile in the organization.

Culture Change

Corporate culture affects the way companies appear and act and a number of parameters play a role as for instance leaders, employees, and other stakeholders to the company. When cultural change is needed a goal needs to be formulated and defined as parameters. These parameters identify which route the organization should go and define milestones for current stakeholders. With this session template, you can create a program for participants to understand why cultural change is needed.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) & Environmental Social and Corporate Governance (ESG)

In this matter, we can say that it is a turning point for most companies around the world in current times. Many organizations have incorporated this practice as a serious aspect within them, but others have not. In addition, employees have a lack of knowledge about this topic that hinders the organizations' communication.

SIV Kategorier Case #2

1 - 2 hours

Danish,English (US)

Played : 79 Times

Description

In this game, you are faced with a hostile work environment where your goal is to turn the environment around. You will have to consider the already rooted work culture and how your changes will affect their motivation and work-life balance.

A simulation developed by the SIW research project

This case-based simulation- and counseling game was developed as part of the SIW project (Socially Innovative Knowledge Work). The game was built on the research of this project where theory is combined with storytelling and general knowledge of research within the sphere of our psychosocial working environment. The game aims to prepare employees and leaders to handle some of the challenges that value-driven organizations face.

Three variants – this game is part of a set of three that all relate to knowledge workers:

1. The colleague, who is responsible for onboarding new short-term employed colleagues into the culture, the tasks, and the community.

2. The occupational health and safety representative, who helps secure a good working environment – both in terms of rules of conduct and the psychological working environment.

3. The leader, who maintains a focus on helping create a good balance between deliveries/performance, knowledge sharing, and innovation capacity.

Your own role depends on which of the three scenarios you choose.

Description

This is a case about the complex change which a company merger often represents. A lot is at stake when two organizations, two cultures, and two professional identities must find each other and create something new out of the old. In this case, the IT companies ITC and Nordit, which are almost equal in size, are merging. Both ITC and Nordit have been facing challenges. Both have experienced stagnating markets and a decrease in the numbers and size of the IT projects they sell. Both companies have also witnessed how more and more of their technologies are being copied or outperformed by competitors. On the paper and in the headlines of the agreement between the two companies this is a merger. In operational reality, ITC is acquiring Nordit and the CEO of ITC takes over the leadership of the new company. As from then, the merged companies will exist under the name: The new ITC.

You take the role of a department manager of the new and merged Project Department in the new ITC organization. The case begins as the merger has been confirmed and the contract just signed. You have already been appointed a new group of employees. Among them, half are from ITC and half from Nordit.
