Change Management Simulation

In the Harvard Business Change Management Simulation, the participants play one of two “change agents” - either a CEO or Director of Product Innovation - at a sunglasses manufacturing firm. They face the challenges associated with implementing an organization-wide environmental sustainability initiative. In each round of play, learners choose any one of 18 change levers while attempting to move the organization’s management team along a four-step pathway of change awareness, interest, trial, and adoption. Participants are assessed on their ability to establish and maintain credibility and achieve the greatest percentage of adopters within the organization. The players have 96 simulated weeks to meet their goals.
