A Risky Business
TARGET AUDIENCE: All learners SUGGESTED TIMING: 30 - 45 minutes
Risk-assessing a change initiative is an important part of understanding why it may fail and preventing it from doing so. The aim of this activity is to guide people through a short risk assessment and help them identify the risks of common types of change initiatives. When reviewing people’s risk assessments, bear in mind that the largest cause of change failure is a failure of engagement and adoption of the change by members of the organization.
Distributed Leadership
TARGET AUDIENCE: All learners SUGGESTED TIMING: 10 minutes
This activity is based on Nick Obolensky’s experiment demonstrating complex leadership. In preparation you may wish to view a video of Nick’s experiment:

The purpose of the activity is to demonstrate to people that situations are often too complex for one person to manage authoritatively. People are often better able to achieve a change if responsibility for that change is distributed amongst them and they feel involved and empowered.
Learning the Lessons
TARGET AUDIENCE: All learners SUGGESTED TIMING: 45 - 60 minutes
This activity guides learners through a Lessons Learned exercise, either based on a change initiative they already have experience of, or the generic scenarios.
Learners should work in groups and the activity should end with each group presenting its lessons to the other groups and receiving feedback from their fellow learners.
