Ling He simulation
A Multimedia Organisational Change Simulation
Change Management in China (½ - 1 day)
Target group: everyone interested in change management in China and elsewhere. Ling He is both great fun and a highly educational game that provides insight into what does and doesn’t work when implementing change in a Chinese organisation. Also suitable for managers working outside of China, in places where informal power structures play an important role. During a workshop, we will play the game and link the experiences obtained to personal skills and the relevance of the insights obtained to your organisation strategy with regard to change management. Can be combined with a culture-specific module 'China'.
What is The Ling He Simulation?
The context for this simulation is managing change in a Chinese company manufacturing telephone switching equipment. The simulation translates the extensive academic knowledge of Chinese business culture into a practical, hands on learning experience, where new-comers and old hands alike can make mistakes without expensive consequences! The focus of the simulation is on managing change in a Western/Chinese context but the process is designed to build awareness and skills in managing the factors in any cross-border change process.
