How Do You Provide An Experience For Successful Change Management?
• Ask the trainees to stand together in a tightly knit group. • Pass them a throw ball. • Tell the group that it is expected to throw the ball in the air and keep it up for a 100 counts to win the game. • If the ball is allowed to drop on the ground before reaching the count of hundred, then the game should be started anew beginning the count from 1. • Once the group has succeeded (usually in fifteen minutes)debrief the game. • Bring to the notice of the group the strategies they used to succeed – discovery of a few experts who are able to control the ball and keep it in the air; as soon as the ball strays, the group directs it back to the experts; discovery of some experts who are also leaders and who bounce the ball towards as many of the group as possible so that they will also be involved. Draw parallels with the process of change management.
