"Don't manage – lead change before you have to."

Jack Welch

While change is inevitable in business, it is not easy. To lead and manage change, you will need to
understand the power of the change agent, urgency, and how to apply the appropriate tools to mobilize
commitment to a change initiative. In this assignment, you will evaluate power and influence in creating
urgency and building a change coalition to support a new initiative.

Week 2: Play Simulation

1. Run Simulation

a. Click on the Change Management Simulation Link

b. After you click on the link, the scenarios are automatically assigned and ready to play.

2. Play through each of the four simulation scenarios (30-45 minutes per scenario).

a. You will adopt the role of CEO or Director of Product Innovation in each scenario. Your
goal is to convince a critical mass of key employees to adopt a sustainability initiative.

b. How to play:

i. Setup – Log in to the simulation, choose one of the four scenarios, and explore
the site

ii. Prepare – Read the scenario introduction and “how to play” pages

iii. Analyze Reports – View a dashboard of company information

iv. Decide – Choose the first scenario and play by selecting change levers

v. Review Results and Repeat – Continue to analyze and make decisions until 96
weeks occur or the initiative is adopted

c. Play all 4 scenarios to completion. Complete the steps above for each of the four
scenarios. In two scenarios, your role is CEO; in the other two scenarios, your role is
Director of Product Innovation.

Submit Written Responses: Due Monday, 9:00 am (eastern), Week 4

"Don't manage – lead change before you have to."

Jack Welch

While change is inevitable in business, it is not easy. To lead and manage change, you will need to
understand the power of the change agent, urgency, and how to apply the appropriate tools to mobilize
commitment to a change initiative. In this assignment, you will evaluate power and influence in creating
urgency and building a change coalition to support a new initiative.

Week 2: Play Simulation

1. Run Simulation

a. Click on the Change Management Simulation Link

b. After you click on the link, the scenarios are automatically assigned and ready to play.

2. Play through each of the four simulation scenarios (30-45 minutes per scenario).

a. You will adopt the role of CEO or Director of Product Innovation in each scenario. Your
goal is to convince a critical mass of key employees to adopt a sustainability initiative.

b. How to play:

i. Setup – Log in to the simulation, choose one of the four scenarios, and explore
the site

ii. Prepare – Read the scenario introduction and “how to play” pages

iii. Analyze Reports – View a dashboard of company information

iv. Decide – Choose the first scenario and play by selecting change levers

v. Review Results and Repeat – Continue to analyze and make decisions until 96
weeks occur or the initiative is adopted

c. Play all 4 scenarios to completion. Complete the steps above for each of the four
scenarios. In two scenarios, your role is CEO; in the other two scenarios, your role is
Director of Product Innovation.

b. What were the important differences demonstrated in each of the four scenarios?

2. Analyze and discuss at least three comparisons between the simulation and what we
have learned in the course.

3. How can you apply what you learned in this experience to the company you work for? Discuss
at least two different applications.
