ALSO NOTE: In this meeting, we'll be playing games that are expected to take the entire time. We will start on time, and possibly run 30 min longer - to 8:30 (Of course, you may leave whenever you need to).
Description: The Magic of Involvement!
The importance of involvement and the potential of game-based training has been known since the beginning of mankind. From the early city-states of Mesopotamia and the Pharos of Egypt to the Emperor's Court in China and the Prussian army, board-games and simulations have been used to train and support leadership skills. Simulations offer a highly efficient and engaging method to design meaningful conversations, accelerate understanding of complex issues and anchor new leadership behaviour. Game-based training provides a safe ‘training ground’ where leaders can test different options and learn from mistakes without jeopardising real-life budgets, clients or colleagues. Today’s event will address how to work with change management in an engaging and involving manner and if time allows, we will also touch upon global leadership and the challenges related to creating high performing teams across distances and cultures.Speaker Bio: Gitte Pfeffer, Director of International Services at Workz A/S
