   Different groups have different needs. The Change Management seminar experience is meant to be an interactive experience in a fun, non-threatening atmosphere.  The following is an option available to interested groups:

   During the afternoon, participants can experientially understand more about Change Management by playing the KnowMe™ game with any number of groups of four to six -- with a debrief exercise after everyone is finished. This highly-interactive game is based on the Disclosure/Feedback model of awareness known as the Johari Window (click to view more about the game), named after Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham. This award-winning game has been used in over 20 countries by a wide range of organizations and is specifically designed for establishing trust and building relationships in the workplace.

   Change & Transformation Game -- This game enables participants to address factors influencing change in their organization. SAMPLE CARDS:

 

     TELL: 
  Light-hearted: Tell the group about a time you helped someone through a transition in their life.
      ASK:
  Light-hearted: Ask the group members what they think your feelings are about your department
and its current circumstances/role within the organization.
  Serious: Tell the group how you feel about the
way the intended change has been communicated.
  Serious: Ask the group members what they think
your typical workday consists of and how they feel about that.
