Big learning. Big impact. Big savings.
Systems change is complex. Learning how to navigate it doesn’t have to happen through another presentation, lecture, or traditional professional development session.
At Cairn Guidance, we believe some things are better learned by doing.
Our Systems Simulations put participants in the middle of the action, giving them an opportunity to experience the dynamics of systems change firsthand. Participants make decisions, encounter resistance, build relationships, test strategies, and see how their choices influence change across a system.
And this fall, we’re making it easier to bring that kind of learning to your organization.
Which Systems Simulation is right for you?
Whether your team is navigating individual readiness for change or tackling complex systems-level change, there’s a simulation designed to meet your needs.
Making Change™ offers a half-day experience focused on how individuals experience and respond to change, while Systems Thinking, Systems Changing™ provides a full-day experience focused on how systems behave and change.
The simulations can stand alone, but they also build on one another. Making Change™ can serve as a natural precursor to Systems Thinking, Systems Changing™, starting with the individual experience of change before expanding the lens to explore the relationships, dynamics, and complexity of change across a system.
Explore the comparison below to find the right fit for your team.
And sometimes the right fit is having both!
One purchaser had facilitated Making Change™ many times and initially gravitated toward it because it was the simulation she knew best. After adding Systems Thinking, Systems Changing™ to her facilitator toolbox, she found that each simulation offered something different for the programs she supports.
More Than a Game
Our Systems Simulations are designed to spark conversations that can be difficult to create through traditional training alone.
Participants don’t just hear about change. They experience it.
Systems Simulations can surprise even the most experienced professionals, creating substantive professional learning that challenges participants to think differently about change and how they navigate complex systems.
Through gameplay, participants:
- See what happens when they move too quickly.
- Encounter people who respond differently to a new idea.
- Discover the importance of relationships and influence.
- Make choices, see the consequences, adjust their approach, and try again.
When the gameplay ends, the learning continues through facilitated reflection and connection to participants’ real-world work.
And that’s where the experience becomes much more than a game.
As one purchaser shared after facilitating Systems Thinking, Systems Changing™:
