Change Dialogue & Action: Applying the Tipping Point to Organizational Change
Introduction | Overview | Background | Details | Summary
Change Dialogue & Action: Applying the Tipping Point to Organizational Change is an acclaimed learning workshop.
Known as the Tipping Point Workshop, for short, it presents a holistic framework for implementing change by leveraging a computer simulator called the Tipping Point. The workshop has been used by change leaders in a wide range of organizations in the US, Canada, Europe and around the world. The Tipping Point Workshop has a proven track record of fostering successful and sustainable changes when applied in participants’ own organizations.
Using the Tipping Point Workshop gave our team a fresh perspective and renewed enthusiasm. The dialogue unfolded easily through well designed theory presentation and interaction with the simulator. By the time we got to the reflection questions about our organizational change effort, we were very prepared to begin applying the learning to our own situation. —Darlene Flynn, Policy Lead, City of Seattle (Race and Social Justice Initiative)
All too often―given the day-to-day pressures of our jobs―when faced with a change implementation we slip into old familiar strategies―despite their frequent lack of success in the past. The Tipping Point Workshop can help focus management teams on creating better more successful strategies to put important changes into practice.
The Workshop is experiential and interactive. Teams compete with one another to develop the best strategy to move the simulated organization toward a needed change. In Workshops, teams have been known to spontaneously stand up and cheer as their strategy unfolds in the simulation. Participants have debated vigorously during the simulation runs about trade‐offs and costs. After using the simulation, participants can immediately apply what they have learned to a current change initiative facing their organization, and make real progress―in real time.
Managers and change agents have modified their approach to their own organization’s change initiatives after participating in a Tipping Point Workshop. In organizations that have used the simulation extensively, its concepts, terminology, and theory have helped frame their overall organizational change strategy long after they have participated in the Workshop.
