EIS Simulation

In the EIS Simulation, participants working in groups are challenged to introduce an innovation in a division of the EuroComm corporation.

They have up to 6 months of (simulated) time to convince as many of the 22 members of the division's management team as possible to adopt an important innovation, which in this case is an Executive Information System introduced corporate-wide to increase transparency and reporting.
During the simulation, participants, operating as change agents, can choose among many different initiatives and change management tactics to meet their goal. They may gather information on the managers (the profiles, their relationships, etc.) or may take direct action to try to convince the managers and thus influence their willingness to adopt the proposed innovation.

Each time participants implement a tactic, they immediately receive feedback about the impact of their decisions. The objective is to get as many adopters as possible, overcoming different forms of individual and organizational resistance to change.
