Wallbreakers® change leadership simulation
Change fails on people, not plans. Wallbreakers® is a board-game simulation in which teams lead staff through a merger: the large IT services company TLA buys the smaller Nordicon. Leaders meet real resistance, see how different personalities react and practise what works, in a safe room rather than on the job.
Both the task and the people
Kotter's steps for change
Understand what matters at each stage of a change process.
Maurer's levels of resistance
Spot resistance early and deal with it before it hardens.
Goleman, MBTI and DISC
See how different leadership styles and personalities respond to change.
Three levels of use
For the individual leader, for a specific change project, or for the whole organisation.
Practical results
- Know the types and causes of resistance and respond constructively
- Reflect on their own leadership style during change
- A shared framework for solving the hard parts of a change
- Better change readiness, engagement and fewer unwanted departures of key people
Leaders who have to make change stick
Leaders whose teams need to embrace change, managers at every level of an organisation going through change, and project leads and teams about to implement one. A standard workshop is one day. It can run as a half-day taster for a leadership team or extend to two days with change-management modules.
