SOL EUROPE FORUM PRE-DAY WORKSHOP
Mental Models Game
Back in 2006, in Tiimiakatemia Finland’s training program we were assigned to create a game. We had just read the Mental Models section from Peter Senge’s 5th Discipline, so we created the Mental Models Game. Now this game has been played with more than 100 groups in Finland, and we are excited to launch it internationally at SoL European Forum in Stockholm! Mental Models Game is all about dialogue, oriented with meaningful questions. It helps people to speak from their heart and takes the conversation effortlessly into an interesting level. It’s used for creating awareness of the Mental Models of the players and their organizations, as well as better aligning a team and creating a shared vision. According to Arie De Geus, the success of a company depends on "the process whereby management teams change their shared mental models of their company, their markets, and their competitors." Another significant influence behind the game is William Isaacs and his book Dialogue and the art of thinking together, that speaks about the ”architecture of the invisible”, a subtle world of forces born of intention ”aperture” through which social realities unfold. That's where the interesting stuff lies. There's something we don't know and we want to find it out by playing! Questions picked for this game are orientative for the forum and good for teams: What needs to be expressed in here? By you? By others? By the whole? What’s your mental model about succeeding spectacularly together?
